Apple's still fighting for the enterprise market
The very first computer system I worked on was called a varityper and it was the epitome of clunkiness. My first 'true' PC was an Apple and I fell in love with the machine immediately. Ever since then I've often been the lone voice in the wilderness calling for more Macs in the workplace. But the thundering adoption of PC-based systems, software and tools has continually overwhelmed my pathetic cries for my PC of choice. That's why an article over at Newsfactor today caught my attention. The piece discusses how, despite the saturation of Microsoft in business, Apple hasn't given up on its quest to grab a piece of the enterprise pie. It seems that the dawn of Vista has more than a few companies reviewing their operating platforms and systems and that some businesses are considering the Apple option. It's music to my ears, but I'm not so sure about most cost-centric IT leaders. Let me know if you think its probable for Apple to move into the enterprise space anytime soon. -Judy
