If Apple really wasn't to compete against MS, they would build servers, write Server OS, and write Admin Tools, and market that to the public. Apple hasn't done that yet. If they ever do you can bet they would give MS a good run for their money.

Actually, Apple's had server software for quite a while. OSX Server droped on top of Maverick shortly after it came out, and you can currently buy the Yosemite version for $19.99.
How about XServe? None of these have been wildly successful, and from my buddies who used to work with Citrix/does home and small business installs, Apple servers have always been pretty bad.

It seems you don't understand the market. Microsoft's primary market is Business/Productivity, and Apples primary is Home User/Multimedia.

It seems you don't understand the market. Just because you have a primary focus in one, doesn't mean you can't compete in another. Windows machines are more ubiquitous in the Home market than are Macs. Ford makes trucks, but they also compete in the small cars market, the sports car market, and so on.

I'm glad you looked it up and took the time to reply on it, it just proves my point. Yes all the reviews are bad. This just shows that Apple has no plans to compete against MS for the Business market. When’s the last somebody from Apple has talked to your IT staff about setting up an Apple Network?

Like I have been saying on this topic, if Apple REALLY wanted to compete against MS they would build a serious Business platform, and market it. But they are NO trying to compete with anybody.
