@ShazAmerica That's what they said about desktop Linux... I think you're reaching there, but as you say, time will tell. Personally I doubt that scenario will happen in the near future. You're looking at it only from an individual user's perspective. In corporations, that's just one side of the equation. The others are: Global TCO for desktop infrastructure, support, centralized/automated systems management, application compatibility, integration with back-end systems, etc. As of now, there are little to no enterprise-level tools or practices in place for Mac platform. And don't forget the costs. Mac computers are horribly more expensive than PC's and Apple just doesn't have a support organization or a specific roadmap that enterprises will look for. So...no, I don't see it happening just because some Apple enthusiasts go into IT.
