General Electric Co. is providing employees the option of choosing between Apple’s Mac notebooks or Mac desktops instead of a Windows PC. The company now has about 1,000 Mac users and anticipates their ranks to heighten further as more employees become aware of the year-old pilot program.
About 10,000 GE employees carry the Apple smartphone, compared with 50,000 still using BlackBerrys. Staffers across GE businesses are eligible as long as there aren’t security clearance issues, such as devices for defense work, or big compatibility problems with needed software.
