When you're the CEO, every penny counts. Continuing to throw away money on the TROUBLE RIDDEN WINDOWS Operating System just doesn't make good CENTS ! (Pun intended ! )

Can you show me an enterprise class data center that's running on racks of Mac Mini's?

If it's such a good deal I'm sure they've all figured it out by now.

"Can you show me an enterprise class data center that's running on racks of Mac Mini's?"

What am I, your research dummy?
I'm just an enlisted retired military man, trying to make ends meet, and help my aging parents.

Do you think Apple/Mac us NOT s MAJOR Enterprise without its own data center?
Do you think Apple/Mac Corp is running WINDOWS ?
What about all those computer graphics corporations in California in the movie making business?
Do you think they're running WINDOWS for all those amazing C.G.I. scenes ?
Then what about all those computer hackers in China, North Korea, Russia, and other countries that are stealing American Technology and personal data?
Do you thing they're creating all those "Black Hat" Programs on WINDOWS ?

WAKE UP !
You want security?
You get what you PAY FOR !

Actually, using the Mac mini as a cheap server is a great idea for small business.

Need more power? Then buy a Mac Pro and have more power in a small container than I ever has when I used to build 400 seat call centers using Mac Server before 2000. (No, I wasn't the Mac Server guru, so I accept criticism that I know nothing).

Was Mac software perfect? Nope. One of our team members had to rewrite the Apple UDP stacks, and push Apple to admit he was correct.

Still, one or two Mac Minis would easily power fwdude’s server requirements. Storage can be added, the Mac software seems easier than comparable Linux server software. And it costs $20.00!

Will the software ever tempt BoA or Facebook to radically change their server and storage strategy? Never, it's the wrong solution for them.

For the millions of small businesses that pay a small fortune to keep Server 20xx up to date and safe across a network, it looks like a great solution.
