An all Apple family celebrates second anniversary of living completely Microsoft-free

Dec 27, 2011 - 05:30 PM EST ? AAPL: 406.53 (+3.20, +0.79%) | NASDAQ: 2625.20 (+6.56, +0.25%)

?Back in April, I proudly declared my second anniversary of living completely Microsoft-free,? Ed Brill blogs for his eponymous site. ?Beyond Microsoft-free, though, the point of that blog entry was how much Apple technology had entered my life in the last few years.?

?Earlier this month, IBM started a conversion of our corporate mobile device program, in line with what had been disclosed externally a few months ago,? Brill writes. ?For the first time, I had the opportunity to have an iPhone and have IBM manage the billing. It meant buying my own phone, but the opportunity to move not just in a Microsoft-free direction, but an all-Apple direction, was too good to pass up.?

?The switch was so simple, I almost didn?t realize it had happened,? Brill explains. ?When I first powered up the iPhone on Friday afternoon, and clicked through the setup options, an error suddenly popped up on my old [BlackBerry] phone, that the SIM was no longer provisioned. A few minutes later, I logged onto a Lotus Mobile Connect gateway on ibm.com, and Notes Traveler and LMC were being provisioned on the device. The app store app already knew what apps I had on my iPad, so installing IBM Sametime and IBM Connections were both single-tap actions. My contacts synced from Notes through Traveler. In short, save some recent images shot with the camera on my old phone, I didn?t have to do anything to transition from one device to another, and I?m up and running on the 8th piece of Apple gear in production use in my household. It.Just.Works.?
