What's Apples equivalent to MS Office and what enterprise IT Director would seriously consider deploying it?
Name one major enterprise, like a bank or even a resort hotel, that's deployed and runs an Apple based network. Actually, there might be one or two resorts but, I've never heard of them. I'm fairly positive there's no large financial institution. Apples only fit in an enterprise when a company has a graphic arts department. And usually, the only reason the Apples get installed is because of the stubbornness of the graphic artists.
The only place these two companies really overlap is in the OS market and even there, they aren't true competitors because you can't buy one and install it on the others platform without emulation.
Primarily, Apple's really in the OS market is because they're in the proprietary hardware market.....and visa versa....it's really one of those chicken/egg situations.
No one at MS is losing sleep over what Apple's next move is going to be....they're too busy wondering what's up with Nux which is in MS's market and is a viable threat to their long term business strategy.
MS Entourage, or Mac OS X Mail and iCal, etc.

A lot of IT Directors are experiencing a big climbdown in the corporate world lately. They look like fools for wasting valuable resources with all of Microsoft's security problems.
