      <title>Eight financial reasons to use Mac</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;Cio wrote an excelent article with the &lt;a href="http://www.cio.com/article/print/127050"&gt;eight financial reasons why you should use Mac OS&lt;/a&gt;. In a nutshell, the reasons are:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Macs bring a better overall value proposition&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Macintosh licensing fees are cheaper&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;The Mac desktop spawns fewer calls to the help desk&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Mac users are more productive workers&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Macs last longer&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Mac OS is more secure&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Mac is just as cost-effective as Windows to manage and administer&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Add Macs while hanging on to your investments in other OSes&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The war season is open, please send your flames.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <description>Of course all this is useless if you live in Portugal and you have a problem with your Mac...

Mine is at Interlog for the forth time in just under a year and man, could i tell you a thing or two about those guys....

Anyway a replacement deal was proposed by Apple, but it had to happen in Spanish territory, which is illegal according to our law.  

Given this experience, i don't think Mac is a suitable platform for a professional or company _in_ Portugal.</description>
