Apple Forcing IT Shops To 'Adapt Or Die'

alphadogg writes "Many IT departments are struggling with Apple's 'take it or leave it' attitude, based on discussions last week at MacIT, which is Macworld|iWorld's companion conference for IT professionals. Much of the questioning following technical presentations wasn't about Apple technology or products. It was about the complexities and confusions of trying to sort out for the enterprise Apple's practices. Those practices include the use of Apple IDs and iTunes accounts, which are designed for individual Mac or iPad or iPhone users, and programs like Apple's Volume Purchase Program, which, according to Apple 'makes it simple to find, buy, and distribute the apps your business needs' and to buy custom, third-party B2B apps."

There are plenty of top notch technical people who like Apple.

Really? I would count myself has having considerable data on the subject and it seems pretty consistent. The techies who are Apple fans are typically the B's who hire C's.

Kind of like Occupy IT, but without the rapes, diseases, property destruction and general asshattery.

OK, I deserve the flame bait and troll ratings I'm going to get for that.
