Forrester: Apple nearly quadruples enterprise share

Apple's plan to attack the enterprise market consists of:
1. Exchange support in the iPhone 3G
2. Exchange support in OS X Snow Leopard
3. Focusing Snow Leopard's development on stability and performance instead of adding hundreds of new features

KK... Please....
"ragging on Windows" --- Their such an easy target who can resist!

"ability to run Vista and Office faster than typical PC" --- The real irony is that Apple CAN run them faster AND run a real OS also.

and speaking of "pesky little emo kid who thinks it is fashionable" -- I see where Microsoft has hired Jerry Sienfeld to hang out with Bill Gates to try to make Microsoft seem cool. Who you hiring KK..?

So, the rise in the presence of Macs could be attributed in part to the ability to use virtualization - to be able to use Windows on Mac hardware.

Yet another proof that Apple needs to coattail Microsoft to increase its shair, yet they continue to be the pesky little emo kid who thinks it is fashionable to "hate on parents". Heck, they can't even advertise their products without ragging on Windows, all the while proclaiming the ability to run Vista and Office faster than typical PC hardware as being one of the reasons you should consider a Mac.

Oh the irony!

I wonder how much Apple's increasing share of the home/personal market has to do with convincing IT people to switch for business.

good for apple, im glad its finally being reconized for its Amazing software

Your RSS feed corrupted that 3/4 fraction character--it double-encoded the leading ampersand in the escape, so the rss version of the article has "ampersand;frac34;" where it should have the 3/4 fraction. the HTML has "ampersandamp;frac34;"("ampersand" is of course the actual ampersand character; i'm trying to avoid having my post get screwed with the same way.)

I do it, but I still think it's a bit of a shame having to run Windows on my Mac. It's a bit like grafting the butt of a dog onto the butt of a cat.

Actually, no, it's not. I just wanted to mention the double-butt graft.

Thing is, if Apple went up 3.3% and MS went down .7%, who is Apple stealing the other 2.6% market share from? Linux? Or things like OS/2 and BeOS?

Oh, actually, if you read the source more carefully, the Apple gain and MS decline aren't actually for the same period. Apple's gain in that period was only 0.9%.

"In the end, [IT departments] want their employees to be as productive as humanly possible, so they'll approve tools that people are more comfortable with," said Gray.



Wha? What company does this Gray guy work for? Can I get a job there? My IT department desperately wants me to fail at everything I attempt.

Push the button, Frank!
