Can Apple Penetrate the Corporation?

Posted by kdawson on Tuesday February 27, 2007 @10:32AM from the awareness-gap dept.

coondoggie sends us a NetworkWorld story on the prospects for Apple gaining market share in the corporation. A number of factors are helping to catch the eye of those responsible for upgrading desktops and servers, the article claims: "Apple's shift to the Intel architecture; the inclusion of infrastructure and interoperability hooks, such as directory services, in the Mac OS X Server; dual-boot capabilities; clustering and storage technology; third-party virtualization software; and comparison shopping, which is being fostered by migration costs and hardware overhauls associated with Microsoft's Vista." On this last point, one network admin is quoted: "The changes in Vista are significant enough that we think we can absorb the change going to Macs just as easily as going to Vista."

Having recently switched from being a ObjC/Cocoa developer at that company to being a VB.NET developer at the new job
Ewww, what would have you do that? VB.Net is crap for kiddies! I would rather be a homeless dude on the streets than program with VB.Net.
