Apple’s Snow Leopard Completely Blows It Virtually

“I have said on numerous occasions that Apple has missed the
boat when it comes to enterprise adoption. This is sad, really,
when you consider how good an operating system Mac OS X really is,
in that it is the only UNIX-based OS that really could have had any
chance in displacing the status quo of Windows and Microsoft
hegemony in large enterprise environments with a “full
stack” for end-user acceptance as a desktop OS. Consumers may
enjoy its niche status, but In the enterprise, Apple is a
“Coulda Been” contender of unfulfilled potential.

“On the server side, if enterprises aren’t running
Microsoft-based infrastructure, it’s Linux, which is now
displacing traditional UNIX-based infrastructure. Linux now has the
upper hand for scalable enterprise applications and is assuming its
position as the new “mid-range” OS, but only because it
is an open system which will run on all kinds of hardware and now
has legions of developers who have completely bought into the Open
Source ecosystem.”
