This article is childish. There is a simple reason why macs failed in the business market. They had a closed architecture. By the time they opened up to clones in the mid-90's, it was too late. The fact is, large organizations are reluctant to go with a sole-source solution.

Except for their love affair with all things Microsoft. A little competition would have been healthy, except Microsoft was allowed to use predatory practices to become a monopoly. At the time when this could have been prevented, those who could have prevented it looked the other way until it was too late.
