THIS article is not a surprise to those of us who work with BOTH Windows and Macs... sort of Dog Bites Man news... but to Windows only people it's kind of a shock... PING!

TOTAL OWNERSHIP COST
Macs Cost LESS than PCs

I don’t have an apple yet, but it doesn’t surprise me. Microsoft seems to be wandering in the wilderness when it comes to windows these days.

WHAT A SURPRISE!!! A group that sells Mac "solutions to the enterprise" thinks Macs are great.

From their website: "Making it easy to deploy, integrate and manage Macs in a Windows environment."

And global warming is real, too.

One gaping hole in the enterprise lineup for Apple is that VDI (Virtual Desktop Infrastructure) is a big buzzword amongst upper management types. There is currently no way to run OSX virtually, as Apple ties the Mac to the hardware. I'm not really sure how far VDI is going to go, as it really harkens back a lot to greenscreen days, but it's a checkboox that PHBs are looking at these day.

Off-topic, but last night I installed the VMWare workstation 7.1 beta on my Fedora12 desktop last night after having spent way too much time trying to get Server running.  OMG, but that  was the easiest vmware installation I've ever seen on Linux! For once, no patching was required. So far haven't hit any bugs, and have done some initial testing with both some pre-existing VMs and built a couple of new Fedora VMs. Overall, things seem to finally be coming together for VMWare on Linux. It's always pissed me off that you had to jump through hoops on previous versions considering VMWare itself is built on Linux.
