Obama Staffers Hate View From Windows
Posted by Vincent Ferrari in "Apple Talk" @ 08:00 AM
"The Obama team has long been known for using Apple equipment. President Obama himself uses a Mac laptop, as does his media team, which according to the Washington Post is now facing the daunting prospect of updating the West Wing to modern equipment and doing so while complying with government regulations. The Post article quipped that "if the Obama campaign represented a sleek, new iPhone kind of future, the first day of the Obama administration looked more like the rotary-dial past.""
Ya gotta feel for the Obama guys, but at the same time, did they expect to just walk into the White House, plug in their MacBooks and get to work? I imagine this administration will be great for getting the ancient tech used in the White House up to 2008 standards (think about it; Windows 2000 and Windows XP? And if they're still running 2000, do you really think they're running it on new machines anyway? I doubt it). It's tough being a Mac user in the Windows world sometimes.
