[geeks] Thoughts re: corporate software replacement

[Ken Hansen]

Well, lets just ask all those lartge corporations with
their multi-thousand seat installations of Macs
running OS X.

Are there any?

Will there be any?

Maybe that's why...

If Citrix supported Mac OS X, how many copies would
your company buy? Now, with PCs running $400-600 +
monitor (I just got a nice Dell for my wife 1.6 GHz
P4, 128 Meg RAM, 20 GIg HD, 64 Meg GeForceII video
*no* monitor for about $550 with free shipping, a free
Palm Pilot, and $50 off their list price. It is a Dell
Poweredge 4300 IIRC), why wouldn't a corp. simply buy
a PC to put next to the few Mac users they have?
