It is a little bit disconcerting

[Damien]

From an old Apple employee:

“That could have happened, but that’s not Apple. Apple in spite of successes in storage and servers, is still at its heart, a consumer company. If you expect more, you’re likely to be disappointed.”

“Just remember if you buy Apple for your enterprise, you’ll be on your own. The products are great, but they come from a dyed in the wool consumer company which more and more butters it bread with products like the iPod. Consider yourself warned. “

Lingering regrets from Apple days

I was highly interested by Mac OS X Server but if this is true I will go to my first choice, Solaris 10.

If my entire basis for picking an operating system was a blog, I hadn’t post anything here

I posted this here because I want another opinions as I have no experience with Apple in the server market.

I am looking for a “real experience” feedback of Apple in the enterprise market.

I mean this website is dedicated to Apple in enterprise environment, it is the best place to have some counter experiences

I was posting this article to know more about the Apple support for enterprise.

The fact is, I read this blog from an old Apple employee saying that Apple’s enterprise support is bad. So I ask here about that as I am interested by Mac OS X Server.

I never said I will trust you more than him, I just want another (neutral if possible) opinions about that.

The best thing an administrator can do is to know the strength / weakness of each operating system. If a bad support is a weakness of Mac OS X Server, then I want to be aware of it

Forgive mr. troll, he means well…

I think perhaps two things would influence to a new user to OSX Server, whether it can do what I need, and is there a community of people that I can turn to ask questions and get some help when I need it. You can answer the first one, but the second one is easy: hell ya! Thanks to afp548.com and the apple mail lists I have been given the chance to do more with osx server then I ever thought possible. It’s just that fantastic. And yes, I gush like that all the time 😉
