I have a feeling that this data may be skewed significantly due the the Xserve being EOL'ed. There are a significant number of large production facilities in the entertainment sector running Xsan for their SAN infrastructure that bought a fleet of new Xserves for future expansion as a result of the February EOL. This means that the enterprise business would have gotten a huge boost is sales not because people were switching to Apple's products or using more of them, but rather because they knew that they wouldn't be able to to get them in the future and don't want to move to an entirely new platform. The real test will be to see what the current quarter brings, as I suspect we will see a drop to similar or lower market share than Apple had prior to the Xserve announcement.
