Because Microsoft never released a version of IE for Mac OS X, Mac users were frozen out of ActiveX-based Web sites, making many SaaS (software as a service) offerings and enterprise-app Web clients off limits to the Mac. Actually, Internet Explorer was available for Mac OS X for a while, without much support for ActiveX. Nobody misses it today.

Microsoft is doing its part to help Apple achieve more market share.
Thanks Vista.

Don’t care. I’ll work a Intel, Apple, Linux box. A tool is a tool. I don’t care if it’s 386 or quad core, just have some coffee.

The one place I remember pioneering using a Mac as a server a couple of years back is Virgina Tech.

Oh we already have Macs - they’re used by the flaky types in the art department.
To: Swordmaker
From what I’ve observed over the past 14 years in a computing environment that has both Macs and PCs, a shift to more Macs will put pressure on IT to downsize. I think that’s probably been behind much resistance to more Macs.

The big problem is that to make Macs compatible with corporate environments you'll have to completely re-write many corporate software to be truly W3C-standards compliant, and that could end up being a very expensive proposition even if you out-source the development.

I may buy a Mac someday, but only because Microsoft has crossed over my threshold of tolerance for their antics. I hate being bullied, I hate their arrogance, I hate Vista and I hate having to learn a new interface every time that M$ issues a new OS. Can’t they tweak under the hood without redesigning the dashboard? BTW, I am typing this from a Ubuntu Linux box.
