Look what someone bothered to write (only 18 people bought it): "Debrief and Defend: Windows XP vs. Mac OS X"

Vendor Registration: $ TechRepublic Pro

Overview: This presentation, entitled Standardizing On Windows XP Instead of MAC OS X, provides a prepackaged opinion piece for defending Windows XP against MAC OS X. You can use this debrief and defend to educate people about why you chose Windows XP rather than Mac for a desktop operating system. There a list of common questions and answers for after the slide show, as well as a document that users can take with them for later review.
