there is no equivalent apple product to microsoft exchange moondog Send a noteboard - 27/05/2010 07:58:04 PM
Please explain just exactly what you mean by "not as friendly for the business world as microsoft..." because lots of big companies run entirely on Macs. Anything that can be done on Windows CAN be done on a Mac, but some chose not to live up to Apple's exacting standards.

Those who are most vocally resistant to change are those in charge of support/IT who might lose their jobs or be forced to learn something new.

Apple does quite well for businesses.

In fact, one BILLION DOLLAR COMPANY manages to do it quite well.

You may have heard of them... APPLE COMPUTERS.

Also: http://www.apple.com/business/



until apple can create something even remotely useful as a mail server, they will always be behind on the enterprise market. i mean, sure, you can run a mail server on OSX but it doesn't have nearly the feature set and tools for large scale deployment the way exchange does.

After Macs switched to Intel processing there were some hacks available to make them run on PCs. everynametaken - 27/05/2010 11:35:51 PM 628 Views
Do you know why IT will not run virtualization? It is quite simple. everynametaken - 27/05/2010 11:31:17 PM 633 Views

actually your analysis fails to account for "cloud computing" moondog - 28/05/2010 12:43:42 AM 553 Views
