“Apple has been hard at work to court the Linux crowd for a
very important reason – the future of Apple’s OS and business
strategy is counting on attracting Linux people. Right now,
Linux is very hot and is attracting all kinds of technical minds
across the country and the number is growing exponentially. Linux
represents an incredible raw power that can do incredible things if
harnessed right.
“But Linux can only do so much without the mainstream
applications like Microsoft Office.”
“Apple’s salvo into the Linux nest has been with its open source
effort which has attracted an unprecedented amount of interest in
Apple’s OS X Server.”
“Apple’s release of an industrial strength OS that offers the
simplicity and low cost maintenance of a Macintosh combined with
the power of Unix and the blessing and support of the hottest open
source community is a formidable combination.”
