Apple has no line of hardware (or software) capable enough to support the backend of an all-Apple enterprise setup. Everything coming from Apple has "consumer" or "small business" written all over it... but that's OK!
Working in a large education environment, I'm exposed to both the struggles and triumphs of each platform. The applications drive everything. Any OS X support for an application is done so as an afterthought, and inevitably they perform better on Windows clients, and require less support. Same goes for file, print, e-mail, NAC, etc.
I wouldn't hesitate to recommend OS X over Windows in a heartbeat to the typical home user... but when scaling to larger sizes, they can be more trouble and expense to purchase and support.
I have also broken even with mileage/cost ratio vs. gasoline... but I have seen no drop in performance (a slight gain, if anything). I assume this means that the engine (2001 Ford Taurus) is sensing the change and adjusting accordingly for optimum performance (as much as is possible in a flex-fuel engine). Can anyone confirm this?
XP works; Win2K3 works damn well. But, if you are trying to show me something new, the very least you can do is take the time to make sure it aint similar to what we have already seen or at the very least not fucking ugly?
Well, technically Microsoft wasn't really trying to market Longhorn with those "leaked" screenshots. I'm sure when it comes time to release it, there will be more emphasis on new features than an all-new interface.
Since when does the combo of "works damn well" and "looks similar to previous OS" spell disaster?

It's interesting to see how far graphic design has come since Halloween of 1999:
