Default Apple Making Inroads in Enterprise Computing

http://www.macsimumnews.com/index.p...the_enterprise/

"A group of enterprise-class software developers have launched a new organization to help IT departments integrate Macs into the corporate environment—has conducted a survey of over 300 IT administrators and found that more Macs are coming to the enterprise."

It won't be an overnight rousing success for Apple, but it's good news for them that corporations have finally gotten over the "computers run Windows" thing to some extent.  There are lots more operating systems appearing both in server racks and on end users' desktops and there's no way to look at that as a bad thing.  Read the study for some interesting stats about the future of Macs in the corporate world.

Curious how the enterprise is dealing with legacy applications. I know quite a few people in the enterprise that have to use IE because a lot of their legacy stuff requires Active-X. Government is even worse, from what I understand.

Still, I'm glad to see Apple making inroads into the enterprise. I don't think it's their target (the consumer market is Apple's target), but it's still nice to see Apple getting some play in the enterprise.

At this point there is no way an OS X machine could integrate into our environment other than for email, file, and print. My mac is the only OSX machine that has touched our network. Very few of our apps could even work on the mac.
