Is it Apple's time?

An article in BusinessWeek from the 24th September discusses how it is now perhaps time for the isolation of Apple in the technology universe to come to an end. The so called 'monoculture' of everything Microsoft is helping to spread viruses and security threats. Perhaps having two different, and competing platforms for the consumer and corporate (as opposed to for the server which would be Windows and Unix) - would help us all stay a little more secure than at present. It also mentions the firing of an @stake researcher that I talked about a few days later - on the 29th September.

"The opportunity lies in the corporations that long ago stopped paying attention to Macs. Right now, three key trends are leading IT guys to take a second look at Apple. The first is the lure of the cheap and dirty Unix workstation. The second is the rise of laptops. The third, and most potent, is the growing frustration with the Microsoft monoculture and all too common worm attacks that gum up corporate networks. All three factors have long lurked in the background, but now they can't be avoided."
