>I realize I'm not even talking about Linux here; I think that just underscores my point.
I've seen about 10-20% Linux use and about 0% Mac use in industry (Finance - Buy and Sell side). YMMV.
Linux is incredibly popular because people claim (rightly or wrongly) that they can have a lower latency setup. R-Project is very popular with people because they can have engineers customise it in ways not possible with Mat Lab.
But at the end of the day it all falls back down to MS Excel.
Apple don't have any enterprise ready tools for managing a system of 50,000+ client PCs and 30,000+ servers. So they don't get a look in, save the few iPads that are just perks and never used for any work that I've noticed.
