I did some analysis and programming work for an cheap airline ticket franchise operation. They supplied not only the programs to their franchisees, but also the complete computer system to run it on.

As always, there were Maccy's who wanted to use their machines, It was explained to them that it was franchise policy to all use the same hardware and software because that way if any body fell ill, or wanted to take a holiday, it would be possible to get cover for them easily. Also, if they ever wanted to sell the business there was far more probability of getting a better price if the OS was more widely used.

There is a case for using inferior products just because they are the market leader. It is a while since I have seen a Mac. Do they still mostly use QWERTY keyboards?
