Why aren't more businesses using Xserves

That's the question that Elizabeth Millard asks in her piece called, 'Apple's Xserve: MIA or DOA in the Enterprise?' With a title like that you might expect the article to take a lackluster view of the Xserve, but that is no so. Millard highlights the fact that Apple is leverage their marketshare in the research sciences and higher education to sell Xserves, and that might trickle down to corporations.

Apple's biggest problem in the enterprise area is that many corporate IT people think of Apple as a consumer company ('Don't they make iPods?'). Until IT managers are willing to 'think different' Apple might be left out in the cold.
