It’s going to be a long day.

If I had a nickel for every time I’ve been asked (in the role of Windows IT guy) to fix printing problems, install various basic PDF utilities and disinfect malware-infested computers, I’d have enough money to buy all the Macs needed to banish these routine issues for good.

Seriously! It’s 2008 and Windows still doesn’t include PDF support or anti-virus software out of the box,1 and keeping printers working reliably is still a nightmare.

    If you want Microsoft to include pdf support in Windows or Office, you’ll have to get Adobe to stop threatening to sue them every time they try (e.g. http://blogs.msdn.com/brian_jones/archive/2006/06/02/613702.aspx)…
