Apple used the need Windows to sell Apple gearAccording to TUAW, our beloved Apple stores are getting some slight revamps for the holiday season. No more color-coded “T”s for the employees. (Does anyone know what the colors meant?) Apple salespeople will now be able to accept cash and last but not least: No more Windows Mobile handheld point-of-sale devices. Apple will be changing over to iPod Touches running POS software with some sort of scanner/printer attachment. I always thought it strange that the entire Apple retail [store] enterprise was run on Windows POS systems. I would always needle the store employees whenever they rang me up using one of those crappy Windows Mobile handhelds.
I mentioned this a while back and the comments were very defensive. Now, the Apple apologists have nothing to apologize for. Their beloved “Geniuses” will no longer soil their hands with Windows.
