yep I'll acknowledge that, yet iCloud is still sluggish and unreliable. That won't cut it with big business for whom IBM's availability guarantees and service level agreements are much more rigorous. I don't think anybody has ever taken apple seriously at enterprise level robustness, is my point, and pointing to itunes and imessage is not going to persuade anybody who's running a multinational bank (or other mission critical application) that they can bet their terminals on IOS, without a partnership with a player which has proved for over 50 years that it is capable of delivering said reliability. Let's be honest. Imessage and iTunes are not mission critical to anybody in any way and thus do not do much to persuade any responsible corporate IT director, which is the target audience of this agreement.
