And the interesting info in the article that makes this headline link-bait:

"Observers have pointed out that a tiny percentage (around 1-2 percent) of municipal PC purchases are Macs, and the number of governments that require 100 percent EPEAT compliance is also relatively small, so the impact on Apple's bottom line may end up being minimal."

While I see the argument that this the title is link-bait, I don't think they are necessarily trying to overstate it's significance -- how would you title an article like this without it sounding like link-bait?

It's just showing some of the backlash to Apple's decision. It may not be a significant percentage, but who knows what other potential purchasers may follow suit.

Oh, I don't know, maybe by avoiding language like San Francisco turns its back on Apple ...

That's not an answer to the question. The question was "how would you title it if not like that?", so answering "not like that" is just begging the question.

I submitted the same subject some hours earlier and not sure that title(taken directly from WSJ) is any better.
