Let me consult today's LA Times Classified section to see how many job opportunities there are requesting people who know Mac OS X...

That's the point. Unlike Windows, an enterprise doesn't need a large staff of technicians to maintain Mac OS X. It's easier to install, it doesn't constantly break down or get infected with worms, viruses and spyware, etc.

It may or may not require a large staff of technicians, but it does require some, and in a city of ten million, you'd expect some company somewhere to need at least one. There's even an ad for a COBOL programmer and a FORTRAN expert, but no Mac OS X.

Let's not confuse idealism for reality. We get enough of that crap from liberals. Mac OS X may or may not be a great operating system (I lean towards may), but the reality is that Microsoft owns the home, corporate and government desktop with rare exceptions. Hopefully the Mac Mini will make inroads into this, but delusions only are appreciated on the other side.
