Your version of reality is incompatible with this one: http://onforb.es/iCBqdj http://onforb.es/iCBqdj I'm asserting that if Microsoft's software lock-in strategy were effective Apple could not possibly make such gains into the enterprise/pc market.

What gains exactly? 66% increase doesn't mean anything if the base number is not known. The temperature increased by 66%, it must be soooooo hot now... oops it only went from 3C to 5C. Get it? Also, why use URL shorteners? Is this twitter?

  Chill out bro, life's a cookie. The growth figures in the article are sourced and you're right Apple only went up a few "degrees" (which because of Apple's relatively small enterprise market share results in a big growth percentage). I never asserted it was "soooooo hot now", surely I.T. guys everywhere are still smitten with Microsoft and cleverly seeing Apple as rather toyish. I only brought up Apple's headways into enterprise to prove to 'georgieporgie' that Microsoft's enterprise lock-in strategy is not insurmountable but instead increasingly ineffective. I don't know why I use url shorteners, i guess they don't break-up the body of paragraphs as much and that makes me feel winning. No this is not twitter. Being condescending and sarcastic to those whom you share affinity is not cool it merely tends to reverberate a rather toxic attitude throughout an otherwise friendly online community. Your annoyed sentiment would suggest I came into your home and made disagreeable remarks, only we're in a commons and i was already in a conversation when you decided to balk in protest against misleading information. BTW a push notification to my iPhone alerted me of your response so I got on my macbook to type this... does that make me a fan boy incapable of seeing apple's short-comings or microsoft's good? Do fanboys make you angry? then our problem, my friend, has nothing to do with technology and everything to do with philosophy. i recommend you click this shortened url: http://bit.ly/ig2aLF http://bit.ly/ig2aLF
