Is the Mac OS ready for prime time in the enterprise?

With its stellar (in comparison to Microsoft) reputation in both security and reliability, more enterprises are beginning to consider moving to Mac OS X. Factors that have helped include Apple's move to Intel architecture, the inclusion of infrastructure and interoperability hooks like directory services in Mac OS X Server, dual-boot (and even triple-boot) capabilities, clustering and storage technology, third-party software and costs that compare more favorably to Windows and Linux-based systems. And Apple's other features are also proving interesting to companies, like Mac OS X Server, which provides file and print, cross-platform management, security and collaboration features; and Apple's Xsan and Xgrid storage networking and clustering options. But enterprises are thinking long and hard--a move to the Mac requires a major shift in technology and resource allocation, not to mention fighting conventional corporate wisdom, which has long held that Macs are more difficult to support.
