OS X is more appealing to enterprises as a desktop operating system than ever before and although it is unlikely to take market share away from Windows, the Mac could reduce the number of Linux-based desktops, according to research group Gartner. In a report published by Gartner this week titled Enterprise Mac Clients Remain Limited, but Apple's Appeal is Growing, analysts Michael Silver, Neil MacDonald, Ray Wagner and Brian Prentice, said that administrators will most likely have to prepare for more Mac systems in their environment even though OS X is "not a suitable enterprise wide platform". Ars weighs in on the issue as well.

I would think so. At least, it's more appealing to me because of the games available like C&C Generals.
It's certainly easier to use. Drag the app to the HD to install, move it to the trash to uninstall. Myself, I like the Mac install/uninstall system more than the Windows way of doing things.
Mac's are a bit expensive, to me anyway. Overall, while I wouldn't mind having a Mac over a Linux computer, Linux is catching up. Slowly but surely. I've personally enjoyed watching Linux grow over the years.
I don't have a problem with either one. They both have their ups and downs. I'm just glad we have a choice of OS.
