And just to be clear... Apple is already there NOW with phones. Their natural market share is in the 10-17% range. That is where they are with Macs and iPhones and iPads are quickly approaching that. (depends on how you count tablets.. if you ignore white label or not.. even if you leave off the shadow market, Apple has now slipped below 50% from 70% a year ago .. no way they aren't below 30% next year) |

I disagree with almost all of your reasons why. The number 1 reason to choose Windows? I already have so much of an install base I CAN'T change even if I wanted to. Organizations, especially in this economy, don't want risk and change is risk. The hardware base is broader and the hardware costs initially are lower. However, your assertions on TCO and ROI are debatable AT BEST. The simple fact is that further Microsoft purchases leverage the existing install base and no exec ever got fired giving business to Microsoft. |

I can say 100% without any doubt that your comment is NOT off base. The above is absolutely spot-on. |

Too often people mix their personal preferences into these discussions. Perception is NOT reality; it is perception. An objective, broad view of the landscape indicates that ROI is higher, and TCO is lower. The factors that you indicate as the reason are variables in the calcs, to be certain, but they are not the sole variable. |

To make a blanket statement that Microsoft's solution has the best ROI and/or TCO is dubious at best and at worst, outright false. You can't talk in such broad generalities. There's also the fact that Microsoft has purposefully made 3rd-party solutions more expensive in the foundation (see Citrix). |

And I will be lucky to finish the base game in less than a year. Mods have zero appeal. |

The only mods I've ever played religiously were for total conversions for Total War and Starfleet Command and then only because they changed the time periods (and thus the unit sets) for the game. I can't imagine playing any mod for Skyrim that would be that much better than the original. |

This list is updated quite a bit and there are many different variants all over the net but some of the mods ARE better than vanilla. I will add that I LOVE the flying airship, it's breathtaking. Quite a few mods end up as full games, like Killing floor. http://www.pcgamer.com/2012/10/28/th...skyrim-mods-2/ Here is a link to the premier modding site(other than the steam workshop) http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/ <iframe width="640" height="360" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/5eUfyLY9phs?feature=player_embedded" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> |
