Disagree, mostly. They would be more open to OSS, but ya gotta have standardization.

In business, everyone often needs to use the same software in order to have interoperability or just simply communicate. Try to run a business sending documents in anything but Word or Excel. Ain't happenin'. And that's just simple documents.

Software packages deployed over many locations and many businesses have to be written for a single OS or companies have huge support headaches. That's why even OS-X has near zero support in business software.


Exactly.
On another note, that is why Apple will never see wide-spread deployment in the enterprise. They have some tools, there is people that will bring their Macs to the office and will get to work there, but supporting enterprises is a massive undertaking, one that Apple has nor the infrastructure or the wish to go in (they have enough with the consumer market I think).
