Dell wishes it owned Austin. Were you here when the big Dell facility went up in Round Rock? The baseball team plays in Dell stadium, Dell still has a big place in the N Austin area(near Plugerville). Even IBM still has a presence here. Apple is here also, they were thinking of moving to a new site in Cedar Park, do not know the status of that plan. TWiT TV, Leo Laporte's netcast network, came here to Austin in October to set up the web hosting site for TWiT, and planning on doing some other things here. I would love to see Apple move here to Texas.

Yeah, but Apple doesn't need or want any of that Windows stuff to maintain. Besides, you missed Neill's and my jokes.

I do not use Windows stuff, I use enterprise Linux. I was referring to Linux servers. I did mention that extreme gamers and such use the Alienware high-end laptops/towers, loaded with expensive hardware. I use Linux on my Thinkpads, my HP laptop, OSX 10.4.11 on my iMac G4, and IBM PC-DOS 7 to play all my old DOS games.

Why would they want to? This is a serious question, unlike the same question I asked about buying Michael Dell, which was a humorous question considering the history there. Microsoft has little, if anything, that Apple needs or wants.

Other than lots (and lots and lots and lots) of corporate customers. Apple
is essentially nowhere in corporates. And will stay that way unless they
do something about their server line. Of course, they might not care, but
they were happy enough to talk to us (I work for a very large corporate).

For Apple to take that on, Apple would have to take over the development of Windows and of MS Office for Windows, and I am certain that Apple doesn't want to do that, especially considering that that would entail support and compatibility with hardware from Apple's competitors. So Microsoft doesn't have anything that Apple needs.

Want != Need
Apple might be perfectly happy being a consumer company. It is, after
all, making gargantuan amounts of money.
The impression I gained when we met them was that they were definitely
interested in breaking into the corporate market, but had nothing to
offer us, which is a pain, since we have a large, thriving and growing
underground community of Mac users who'd like to officially use them
at work, where they are Forbidden.

Your employer is behind the times, fighting a losing battle. I've worked in the tech field for 20+ years in America where many corporations are now supporting and purchasing Apple products, because employees all the way up to senior management want to use them at work. When upper management demands to use iPhones, iPads, and Macs, even corporate IT departments that are bullheadedly entrenched in Microsoft products have no choice but to concede. -- E-mail sent to this address may be devoured by my ravenous SPAM filter.

It might work for the average guy in the cubicle, but the servers are a different story; probably all running RH/Centos on huge RAID server hardware.
