Pennsylvania university pulls PC plug, goes all-Mac

According to an article in ComputerWorld, Wilkes University announced March 14th that they will be dumping PeeCees if favor of Macs.
The move will save the liberal arts college more than $150,000 and the students and faculty will still be able to run Windoz.

Scott Byers, vice president for finance and the head of campus IT, also cited the additional security of Mac OS X, school wide access to Apple’s iLife suite, and Apple’s operating system itself as side benefits.

“It is, well, the superior OS, isn’t it?” said Byers, who before the switch was a dyed-in-the-wool Windowz user.
