Not really. Maybe you should stick to what you know. Sorry, that's the best I could do in 60 seconds. Lunch was being served.
Mac OS X Server includes server software like Sendmail, MySQL, etc. Apple does sell a database system called FileMaker. But for the enterprise, Oracle 10g and Sybase are the best solutions, and Apple has wisely decided to support those systems rather than reinvent the wheel. Several other Mac OS X Server solutions are listed here.
Unfortunately, a lot of IT directors are becoming dinosaurs in the enterprise. Their prestige is declining in the corporation because of the bad decisions they've made. They foolishly believe that clinging to Microsoft will save them - but it won't.
All true, but Microsoft will save them. There is no reason to use a better system when "good enough" will suffice. Apple does not "just" have a database system called FileMaker, it is as powerful as Access yet is easier to use and customize. And don't forget
Mac Office. I work on Windows 98, Windows XP, Mac OS 9, and Mac OS X. All in the area of graphics and video. I run Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, PageMaker, Acrobat, Publisher, Xpress, and Freehand in addition to Final Cut Pro. The PC's are all "faster" than the Mac but I always revert to the Mac when problems arise on the PC's. I always feel I have to apologize for not having problems with my Mac because people (who thought they were buying the "reasonably priced" system) have such a large investment in hardware and software. I work in a shop that has 4 PC's. I own the Mac. At the shop, they paid the same for their new XP machine as I paid for my Mac (and they got it from a discounter). But they are always calling a high paid "computer guy" to help them fix all sorts of problems...that I don't have. Network problems, virus problems, crashing, etc. Yet they cling to these machines like they were sent from on high. I can't figure it out, but I can't figure out blue states either.
