I agree with Neal and Jeff. I would have bet OSX would have done better in the enterprise. I guess it's just too expensive when stacked up against Linux? Or Linux guys already know the system so they stay? Or do you guys know? Or slow servers? Are Apples server products flawed? For the life of me I've never understood why there wasn't more cooperation between IBM and Apple. Especially now that Apple has a UNIX desktop. After IBM lost the desktop market to Microsoft it seems such an obvious synergy. Apple has the only other credible desktop and with IBMs research and developement resources and server experience... I think IBM compounded their bios mistake here by not buying Apple and pushing the Apple desktop, maybe giving customers some stiff incentives to switch. Why didn't IBM just buy Apple? The same for Sun at one time although that bird has flown the coop. Both companies have paid badly for poor strategic thinking. So has Apple at that, great tactics, strategic blunders.
