- ghaff 13y agoYes, Macs have a decent presence in enterprises these days--although it's easy to overstate it; Mac overall market share is still pretty low. Somewhere in the 10% percent range I believe. Furthermore. and to the original point, a lot of those Macs are BYOD or otherwise not managed as a corporate desktop/laptop. (Where I work is a case in point. You see a fair number of Macs but IT doesn't formally support them.)

So almost half of OS X users are at least 2 versions behind. Not nearly as up-to-date as you might think. 0: http://www.netmarketshare.com/operating-system-market-share.aspx?qprid=10&qpcustomd=0 http://www.netmarketshare.com/operating-system-market-share....
- pudquick 13y agoSo what you're saying is that greater than 56% of Macs are running operating systems at most 1.5 years old ? (10.8 + 10.9). God I wish the numbers were like that for Windows.
- w1ntermute 13y agoWell, it's a good thing then that you can't make a direct comparison between the two OSes. Apple doesn't care about developers, quickly deprecating APIs. Therefore, targeting an Apple OS that's 1.5 years old is much more tedious than targeting a Microsoft OS that's 1.5 years old.
- jshen 13y agoMy last two jobs were at fortune 100 companies, and both had IT supported macs and a lot of them. A work with a lot of people from other large enterprises and the same is true. This is anecdotal, but more evidence than the guy claiming they don't have a presence
