Macbook Air In JavaOne 2008 I noticed something I least expected - an abundance of Mac laptops (Macbook, Macbook Pro & Macbook Air) in not just developers hands but also press / analysts and presenters.在2008年的JavaOne我發現我至少預期-豐富的M ac筆記本電腦（的M acBook， M acBookP ro的＆的M acBook空氣）在不只是開發商手中，而且新聞/分析師和主持人。 I didn’t conduct a formal survey but anyone there can attest to the fact that around 60-70% of the laptops were Mac with Dell being a distant second.我並沒有進行正式的調查，但任何人有可以證明這一事實，即約60-70 ％的筆記型電腦的Mac分別與戴爾正在一個遙遠的第二次。 Obviously there must be good reasons for it.顯然必須有很好的理由。 So I started asking the software developers.因此，我開始要求軟件開發商。 I found 5 good reasons for software developers to use a Mac laptop :我發現5良好的原因，軟件開發商使用Mac筆記型電腦 ：


BSD at the core BSD的處於核心地位

BSD is a Linux like operating system but not encumbered with GPL license. BSD的是一個Linux的作業系統一樣，但不設押與GPL許可發布。 It is extremely feature rich and has a powerful command line interface like Linux.這是極為豐富的功能，並具有強大的命令行界面一樣， Linux系統。 Good command line interfaces are bread-and-butter for any hardcore programmer.良好的命令行界面是麵包和奶油的任何頑固程序員。 Linux / BSD CLI allows you to easily accomplish complex processing tasks unlike the childish CLI, via cmd, that comes with Windows operating system. Linux的/ BSD的CLI的可讓您輕鬆地完成複雜的處理任務不同，幼稚的CLI ，通過cmd ，隨之而來的Windows作業系統。 So why not just use Linux / BSD?那麼為什麼不只是使用Linux / BSD的呢？ That brings me to the second point.這使我想到的第二點。

Mac “just works” with all devices, wireless and more.陸委會“剛剛工程”與所有設備，無線和更多。

Linux / BSD traditionally has problems supporting the latest drivers for devices. Linux的/ BSD的傳統有問題，支持最新的驅動程序裝置。 My UMAX Astra 4100 scanner still doesn’t have a Linux driver.我umax的Astra 4100掃描儀還沒有Linux的驅動程序。 In many cases you will have to download the source code and compile the driver yourself.在許多情況下，您將有下載的源代碼並編譯司機自己。 Installing Linux on a laptop is often a pain because of non-standard hardware used in a laptop.安裝Linux在一台筆記本上，往往是疼痛，因為非標準硬件中使用的一台筆記本電腦。 Most vendors provide support for Windows out of the box, for Linux you have to depend on the mercy and benevolence of third-party developers working on their spare time.大多數廠商提供支持Windows出來的框，為Linux ，你必須依賴於慈悲與仁愛的第三方開發人員的工作就其閒暇時間。 Mac solves the problem by shipping the hardware along with the software. Mac上解決了這個問題，由航運硬件，隨著該軟件。 Your don’t have to worry about drivers or even dream about compiling from source code.您不必擔心司機或什至夢想編制從源代碼。 Mac just works!陸委會只是工程！

In short Mac gives you hassle free computing at a price.在短期的Mac讓您無死角的計算價格。

Pleasant interface愉快的界面

Arguably Mac sports the best user interface of all operating systems.可以說在Mac體育最好的用戶界面，所有的作業系統。 Mac UI is easy to use and easy on the eyes for newbies and pros alike.在Mac的用戶界面易於使用，並且很容易對眼睛為新手和利弊一樣。 It is also very powerful and intuitive.這亦是非常強大和直觀。 Add to the power of BSD in its core and you have a sure winner.添加到權力的BSD在其核心和您有一個肯定的贏家。

Fast快速的

I was told that Mac performs admirably well compared with equivalent windows business machine at similar price point.有人告訴我說，陸委會的表現令人欽佩，以及相比，具有同等的Windows商用機器在類似的價格點。 Several developers told me (which also means I haven’t personally verified) that Mac gives them better performance than equivalent (in terms of price) Windows Vista laptops from reputed vendors.幾個發展商告訴我， （這也意味著我沒有親自驗證）表示，陸委會讓他們有更好的表現比當量（在價格方面）的Windows Vista筆記本電腦由著名的供應商。

Cost effective成本效益

All of the above leads to a hassle-free and cost-effective laptop for software developers and others.上述所有導致一項簡單易用的免費和具成本效益的筆記型電腦的軟件開發商和其他。 No wonder Mac laptops were an overwhelming majority at JavaOne 2008.無怪乎的Mac筆記本電腦分別以壓倒多數在JavaOne 2008年。

BTW: I was using a old IBM thinknote at the conference.的BTW ：我使用的是舊的IBM thinknote出席了會議。 I am not affiliated with Apple in any way and do not own any Apple products.我沒有關聯，與蘋果電腦以任何方式和不擁有任何蘋果產品。
