If any other agencies need a reference for Mac and Windows
interoperability - we have been migrating to Mac (server and
workstation) for over a year.
Recently - we have made plans and procured G5 iMac machines to replace
executive level (CEO, CFO, etc) Windows machines.
We were hit hard with a virus, so hard that the realization of
investment in slightly higher priced hardware in the beginning results
in far less expense in the future.
On the Tiger comments - you can get the latest and greatest of
everything for development and testing by joining the ADC (Apple
Developer Connection - http://connect.apple.com).
I've been developing on Tiger for over two months - and it is truly the
finest user and development experience I have ever had (and I've
developed under everything from CP/M, to Linux, to Windows).

From my perspective. It was great that Apple spent all those
resources at FOSE. Compared to a few years ago where we had to beg
for resources to support this show. Having said that...
1) The Apple banner blended into the ceiling color of Dark
Grey/Black. I came down the escalator directly in front of the booth
and miss the booth!!!
2) Apple should have done more to educate the market at FOSE.
a) Education sessions on Mac OS X interoperability with MS Windows
b) Education sessions on Mac OS X RAID or storage solutions
c) Education on OS X as a secure and real operating system
alternative to Windows
d) Education session on OS X security
Most of the federal population does know anything about Apple. They
lost touch long before Steve came back. The booth did not really talk
to those people that don't know the OS X platform capabilities.
3) Apple booth should have Windows machines in it. Interoperability
with the other side is crucial. You have to show how Windows desktop
can access OS X Servers or XServe RAIDS. You have to show Mac
Entourage accessing Exchange Server. You have to should Active
Directory, etc. etc. May be you do, but I didn't see it at the show.
Hope this helps...
Paul
For those that came by the Apple booth at FOSE - what did you think?
Did we have the right products and people there? Was there anything
that you thought should have been there that was not? Anything you
especially liked?
