658925 2008-04-17 13:00:00 I really like the bits he put in bold, I need more of that carry on.

I'd love to install a Mac OS on my main rig and suddenly become richer AND more productive. Though my E-Penis wouldn't become fully engorged without the Apple supplied hardware.

Oh right, because MS is the dominant player in the market for email exchange servers etc and Apple has bupkiss. This just shows, even iPhone users use MS software and won't switch even for the Jesus juice phone.

Oh No's!!!

It is easier to work with what is already in place so why try and create another when you are gaining access to the enterprise.

PS. I see you haven;t answered Metla's request for more information.

658929 2008-04-18 04:37:00 Easier just to get a Mac and have it all work with less fuss. Looks like 10.5.3 might be going to fix a few more issues in 10.5.2, I'm still on 10.4.11

I would consider buying one next time, but in the meantime installing the os-x leopard on the PC worked and it ran the Mac updates just fine like Windows update.

It was interesting to see what I could/couldn't do with it.

I took that as a sarcastic special from metla

At this stage why should Apple build its own enterprise software to work on Microsoft's networks when it is more cost effective to license Exchange and work that into the iPhone. There are a whole stack of apps being developed for the iPhone some of which are available in the US now and the bulk of which will be available after the WWDC in June from the iPhone Apps store which will be similar to the iTunes Store.

Sometimes it is more effective to wait till you are part of the enterprise so that you can feed the changes through the workers who are more likely to be open to new ideas rather than to "try" and change the IT dept.:lol:

Good to see things are working out for you Bantu. It occurred to me the other day that things might have been a bit different if Microsoft had chosen to put Vista on EFI firmware instead of the prehistoric BIOS (for legacy reasons)

If Vista ran on EFI that may have meant a different out come for Leopard does actually use EFI - the easier possibility of putting OS X on any hardware or Vista on a Mac without special software.
