The Resurgent Mac

This year has been by far the best year for anyone using a Mac just in terms of not feeling like an outcast in the family of Desktop PC users.

This is a critical time for Apple to keep the momentum going all the way to June when the MacWorld trade show allows them to show off the shipping version of the 'Tiger' OS. If they play their cards right, they can keep the media frenzy going and gain just enough mind share to push themselves further into the Enterprise.
