"From my perspective, the opportunity to apply the unique capabilities of the Mac platform to traditional Systems and Network Administration, as well as to be involved in ground breaking new Web technologies is extremely exciting. The Mac is emerging as the new platform of choice for more and more IS/IT managers, validating the decision that many users made years ago."

From my network administrator perspective, Mac OS X (OSX) is a seamless extension of Linux and the BSDs. Because, generally speaking, Unix is Unix, on any hardware; the know-how's the same. Nearly all the open-source (and free) Unix/Linux infrastructural tools build and run as well under OSX as under Linux. Yet OSX also runs commercial business software (like Microsoft Office) transparently. To me, in contrast to the benefits (and similarities) of Unix OSs, any version of Windows is the odd man out.
