Corporate Mac Sales Surge 66%

syngularyx writes "Mac sales in the enterprise during Apple's last fiscal quarter grew a whopping 66 percent, significantly outpacing the rest of the PC market, which grew just 4.5 percent in the enterprise. The data from Apple's previous fiscal quarter was highlighted on Friday by analyst Charlie Wolf with Needham & Company. He said though he originally viewed success in the enterprise as a "one-quarter blip," it now appears to be a "durable platform" for Apple." What makes this especially interesting is that Apple apparently isn't looking for corporate sales, and considers them "collateral success" rather than an indication that they should market specifically to corporate buyers.

The TCO claims from that article appear to be ass-sourced without any actual evidence to back them up.

"people are convinced that Macs are more expensive than their PC counterpart. This is just because you can't find a cheap mac, but you can find craploads of cheap PCs."

that would make macs more expensive then wouldnt it? besides when you just need office and email what is wrong with a 199$ celeron and a 17 inch monitor, not every computer needs to dedicate itself to my iLife, or be the best, heck even apple understands that but you genius fanbois are still willing to plop down damn near a grand for a fucking atom in a mini case (stupid)
