Apple not ready for Enterprise
At least that is what Paul Thurrot says; well really he hints at it. Quoting a recent article by Rob Enderle, Thurrott says that Apple won't be taking over the enterprise market any time soon because they refuse to play ball with big companies.
What do I mean by play ball? Enderle, as quoted by Thurrott, rightly points out that many companies feel a little iffy on the idea of purchasing all of their equipment from one vendor (i.e. Apple) and if they are going to take that risk they need certain reassurances that the product line won't be discontinued the week after they migrate to it.
This is why the Dells and Microsofts of the planet rule this space; they are willing to let their partners in on what is coming down the pike. Apple, in order to maintain its image, can't afford anyone to know what it is doing until his Steveness gets on a stage somewhere and says those three magical words, 'One more thing...'
