"with the rise of cloud computing, Google Apps, and cloud-based email and IM, choosing Mac is an ever more viable alternative" I can't see much of a link here.

"with the rise of cloud computing, Google Apps, and cloud-based email and IM, choosing Mac is an ever more viable alternative" I can't see much of a link here. Most businesses I've worked for over the last five years are still wedded to PCs and Windows, and wouldn't ever change -- too much risk, too much potential expense, etc. I would guess that most of the growth in Apple's sales are to home users or very small businesses, not corporate. I'm a Mac enthusiast, I'm a Linux enthusiast, but I wouldn't recommend most businesses switching to those platforms (on the desktop, at least) except in a very limited set of circumstances.
