Apple focussed on consumer and even shunned the enterprise.
MS for all its flaws, welcomed, targetted and tried to support scale operations in larger business environments (Imaging, AD, GP, SuS, bitlocker, ...).
Also, if your only fix a hardware problem option was to "visit the 'genious bar'" and wait 6 weeks for a machine to come back, vs the Dell/HP/... service of "same day onsite repair", what is IT going to prefer for client computers?
- wpm 1y agoApple has changed their tune, in so far as they probably need some level of identity management on the Mac, crypto-key escrow, restrictions, and so on. Their Device Management framework is quite capable. For large enough businesses Apple will let you do your own self-service repairs too. On-site. Order the part and you're still in warranty.
