Scott,
You need to widen your horizons more than a little bit. I do my work
on Windows and Solaris machines, but I could do it all on my personal
MacBook Pro. I have in the past, both at this company, and previous...
none of which were Pixar or ILM, or even in that industry. Half the
management here runs around with iPads now, and most of the rest have
iPhones.
More to the point, I could walk into your 'business environment'
running Windows on a Mac.
If you still think Apples are toys, you are about a decade behind.
iPhones come with a Cisco v.5 VPN client that is unavailable on any other
Smartphone, so if you want to do real remote work with a phone, you need
an Apple.
I am not a huge Apple fan, especially since I found out last weekend
that no one there has a passing familiarity with basic security
principles, but they are no longer just for iTunes.
