Re: State of Windows deployment in 2009?

I was just in the midst of typing the same thing. Almost all of our new =
deployments will be on Linux in a VM infrastructure. And I don't need =
Apple to provide me anything. I can't really think of a WO enhancement =
that can't be done by a 3rd party. IMO, for the past 5 years, the =
community has brought far more interesting enhancements than Apple has. =
What are you expecting Apple to provide to you that Wonder doesn't =
provide to you RIGHT NOW, in an open development process.
