Apple's Macworld Looking To Corporate Users

coondoggie writes to mention a Network World article about a focus on corporate users at the upcoming MacWorld Expo. Along with the consumer announcements (iTV, iPod stuff), there will be several elements dedicated to introducing IT pros to Apple hardware. From the article: "The show has really evolved. For a long time it was a consumer-oriented show and those of us who are from the enterprise space - there weren't very many of us - would use it as a place to meet and compare notes ... Now Macintosh in the enterprise is becoming more recognized and there are tracks that are specifically for us enterprise people. We don't have to sneak off anymore."

    Just wait and your competitors will make a better cross platform app that will hurt your bottom line. Then you will start "innovating"...

    4) No floppy drive.

    Damned straight!

    When will Apple realize that modern offices run on eight inch floppies?

    Until Apple starts supporting 9-track tape drives, they're never going to be taken seriously in the enterprise. And until I can dock my Powerbook with a paper-tape reader, I will never let one in my business -- not by the long, grey hairs of my chinny chin chin.

    What's that you say? Apples can use $15 industry-standard USB 3.5 inch floppy drives?

    Nevermind.
