And I suppose that Mac is the prevelent OS in the server world.  Please,
it's even more invisible than NT.  Of course UNIX still rules the server
world, and probably will continue for a long time.  But NT has made some
succesful forays into the server world.  We have started to use NT Server
in a number of our client-server applications, although the bulk of the
servers are still Suns.  For enterprise-wide applications, I'd definitely
put my money on Sun, but for the smaller solutions, NT has proven to be
quite sufficient.

I'd challenge you, however, to find a Mac being used as a server in my
company.  Mac just never fit into that role, except perhaps as a webserver.
