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.

How do I prove your point? I know about it because I have some buddies who do a lot of work with networks. But if Apple didn't want a piece of the server pie, why would they have any kind of server software? True, they aren't trying hard to compete, but simply having that product means it competes with something. Besides, they tried to compete, had a terrible product that no one wanted, and so they decided to stop trying as much, let Microsoft win that fight. But when it comes to the Home market, Apple is 100% competing in it. The exact same way Mama's Home-Style Pies is competing with flour producers, apple growers, and Disaronno. Microsoft powers more laptops in homes than Apple does. Apple may not want to compete with anyone, but they don;t have a full monopoly so they're stuck competing with the other players in the field: Microsoft, Dell, Lenovo, HP, etc etc.
