Macs Gaining a Bigger Role In Enterprise

rev_media tips a short article up at InfoWorld giving some numbers on the increasing Mac presence in businesses. "We're seeing more requests outside of creative services to switch to Macs from PCs," notes the operations manager for a global advertising conglomerate. They "now [support] 2,500 Macs across the US — nearly a quarter of all... US PCs." Another straw in the wind: "Security firm Kapersky Labs has already created a Mac version of its anti-virus software for release should Mac growth continue (and the Mac thus [find] itself prey to more hackers)."

Don't we hear this about once every two years or so? Maybe even more often than that. It is always same thing, "Macs will end up like Windows with viruses if it gets mainstream" Tagged with slownewsday

Lets see how long they keep them? The halo effect has been shown to be quite a peak-then-die thing unless the product has real staying power.

Comparing Macs to Halo is comparing Apples to Oranges. (I see what I did there)

It would make much more sense to compare Macs to Xbox360 and Leopard to Halo.

So when every person got bored with Halo did they throw out their Xbox360? Nah. They just stopped playing it till some other game came out. Even then its hard to compare Halo to Leopard because lord knows I can't get 60 hours of game play out of the Finder (and I've tried).
