It could actually be a play for far bigger, the mountain of money that is now largely dominated by Microsoft in ALL establishment corporations and governments.

It could actually be a play for far bigger, the mountain of money that is now largely dominated by Microsoft in ALL establishment corporations and governments. Think of being able to run your whole network and equipment with a mere fraction of the IT and network personnel that it now takes to run a Windows based environment.
- _carbyau_ 5y agoWell, yes and no. Some innovation in this space will be much welcomed and may well lead to the "mere fraction". But right now in almost every IT office, if you could get rid of the right 50% of people, the remaining 50% would keep things running without missing a beat. The trick is doing that. Also, right now in the corporate space, virtual machines are popular for server and workstation environments. Apple hasn't dipped a toe in that space yet. Maybe as more business software go towards web and BYODevice becomes a thing Apple could gain traction.
