That's the same reason given a different word. Take another swing. Dealing
with your posts is like Nolan Ryan pitching against Rob Deer.

LoL! Virtual Market Share.

"there is no way Apple will ever make a dent in overall PC market
share, much less get into the enterprise desktop or server business in
a way that's remotely relevant."

Do bother to completely read your links? It's completely pro-Apple, you
stupid idiot. The author contends the iPhone will be the tool that grabs the
enterprise user, and that Microsoft had failed. Later, it will be the loyalty
gained in the consumer space that drives Apple forward. The very last
sentence doesn't make sense. I think he means that Apple will be there but
maybe not with desktops ... I dunno ... but in any case, the author does not
agree with you, and that's the best part of the whole blog!

Did you read only the first couple of sentences, then find your self
overwhelmed with information? I just can't believe how you and zara can
afford all the shoes you destroy from gunpowder burns and trips to the ER for
treating gunshot wounds to the foot.

I love this part:

"In an April 2008 report, Gartner found the iPhone is clearly having an impact on IT strategy. Of
their survey respondents, 65% were responsible for supporting, managing and/or provisioning
enterprise mobile solutions. Of these, 13% said they either currently supported the iPhone or had
planned for it, 64% said they were currently researching/evaluating support for the iPhone.

This is brilliant. By having major corporations enable iPhone support Apple can get a meaningful
share of enterprise users without having to sell a single desktop, laptop, or server: 13% share of
mobile support is 10x+ Apple's share of enterprise desktops.

No one is focused on this, and it makes me wonder if Apple likes it that way. Keep the "iPhone is a
consumer product" head-fake going long enough to get a strong foothold with enterprise users. And
if Apple can instill in those users the loyalty they've instilled in consumer iPhone and Mac users,
well this could be brand new territory in enterprise business"



muah-prattfall took another dive to the concrete for this article is more a tribute to Apple's
successes.
