Hello;
There is quite a bit of enterprise support at Apple.
OS X:
Supports home directory encryption with file vault
Supports CAC cards with no additional software
Supports logging into an OS X server, Microsoft Active directory or
both.
Able to be locked down as a corporate desktop.
Pushed shares from corporate OS X Servers.
Pushed applications from corporate OS X Servers.
Pushed updates and OS installation from corporate OS X Servers.
Remote Desktop for troubleshooting of machine remotely.
VPN connectivity.
MS Exchange connectivity, although lamely over IMAP.
OS X Server:
Allows for integration into existing Windows network.
Allows for configuration of Desktop rules
Allows for netbooting
Update caching services for workstations
workgroup manager for managing machines
Can act as a BDC or PDC for windows Active Directory.
Allows sharing of Drives across multiple transport (SMB, AppleTalk,
NFS)
And much more
IPhone:
Version 2.0 of the IPhone software contains connectivity for Microsoft
Exchange ActiveSync meaning you can now get your corporate email on
the IPhone from an exchange server, just like you can with MS
Smartphones.
Version 2.0 of the IPhone software contains a Cisco VPN client,
allowing IT people and employees to access their corporate networks
without having to install additional VPN software on their device.
And other corporate enhancements.

It's killing me. One of my favorite jokes for when people ask me
(since I was in the WebObjects group at Apple for a bunch of years)
why Apple is so amazingly dense about WebObjects is this. Steve Jobs
will talk about the enterprise when Pixar is doing a Star Trek movie.
But he is ruining my joke! I just saw an excerpt of some of the
keynote at WWDC and it looks as though the words "enterprise
support" made it up onto the screen. How the heck did that happen?
Or perhaps this version of "enterprise support" is really something
that has no correspondence to the meaning of those words as spoken
on this planet.
Does anyone know what this means? Apple has a unit with a business
model that allows it to do some kind of enterprise support? This is
just not fitting into my head. Please, if anyone has specifics,
speak up.
