Steve Jobs, we call on thee to "reshape enterprise software"

Listen to the words of the Great Vinnie Mirchandani, who of old was called Artemis, Astarte, Dione, Melusine, Vinvin, Vino, the Mircher, Arienrhod, Brigid, and by many other names:
"Whenever you have need of anything, once in the month, and better it be when the moon is full, you shall assemble in some secret place and install enterprise applications. There shall you assemble, who have not yet won my deepest secrets and are fain to learn all methods of pushing email to handsets and keeping the CEO happy.
"We call on Apple to let us be free from slavery, and as a sign that you be free you shall be naked in your rites. Sing, feast, dance, make music and love, all in My presence, for Mine is the ecstasy of the spirit and Mine also is a really cool SDK that is almost platform independent for you can sync with Outlook and Exchange. For My law is love unto all beings and my iPhone is a great enterprise platform.
"Mine is the secret that opens upon the door of Windows Mobile, and Mine is the cup of wine of life that is the Cauldron of Enterprise Programming that is the holy grail of remote wipes and software roll-outs. I am the Gracious Goddess who gives the gift of XServe unto the heart of mankind.
With apologies to these folks

WTF is that? Quit posting this crap or I’m removing all of the Crunch RSS feeds from my client. Do you guys have quotas or something? Either you’re linking to 3 day old news or your posting crap like this…
Listen, it is okay not to have a post every hour. We’ll still subscribe to your site, but only if you are able to provide quality on topic posts.

wow, thanks for alerting me to all these aliases. Next time the cops or FBI ask me I better expand the list - I usually just listed mangled versions of my last name:)

Rob, I think, like many of us actually has a real job, and little time for this sort of thing.
Besides Apple has no clue what enterprise software is all about, they have no clue how buisness gets things done and they have no ability in the near future to provide anything usefull to buisness unless they buy it elsewhere and pretty it up.
Apple provides the basics. Reallly when you think of it not much from Apple came from Apple. Just other peoples stuff licensed, bought, or otherwise liberated. OS X is UNIX with a feel good face. Much of there enterprise tools are from Microsoft or others. Video tools from elsewhere etc etc. Tons of examples.
Apples real skill is in buying a hammer and then putting a cool new grip on it and showing you a different way to hold it.

Your post leads me to believe that you have “no idea” as to what the business enterprise requires since you do not know how to spell the word. Twice in one post makes me wonder what “buisness” you work for. Pity them.
As to Apple candy coating other established products shows me you apparently do not know the history of Microsoft and Apple. A little research as well as a remedial spelling course would benefit you greatly.

Pete, a typical MAC wanker, all about style over substance, emotion over logic. Not one example of how I am wrong, just personal attack. Yes, I do tend to type faster than I should especially when I have more important things to do. Spelling aside, my point is valid. I know the history of Apple and Microsoft better than most, I just have not drank the Apple Kool-Aid.
What is apparent is how the poor slobs who decide they must have an Apple product suffer needlessly for the appearance of being more creative than they really are.
On my desktop sits a PC, running software that’s not available on the MAC platform. It integrates tightly and properly with the rest of the company. The idiots here who must have a MAC in order to make a statement, also mostly need to have PC’s next to their MAC’s to get the real work done.
I just bought a new phone, not an iPhone, because Apple has no clue that people who use their phone for business must be able to integrate with the systems that make business run. RIM knows this, heck even Microsoft has figured this out.
