Businesses Going Mac

Examples of businesses switching from PC/Windows to Mac.

Major Bank Switches from PC to Mac

Japan's Aozora Bank Ltd. is planning to do something once unheard of in the business world: switch nearly all of its 2,300 desktop personal computers to Apple Computer Inc.'s Macintosh computers.

Within a few months, Aozora expects about 90% of its machines will be Macs."
