1. Apple craps all over their enterprise sales force. Like lackeys working at any Apple Store, they're the last to know about new products and usually get educated about the products they're supposed to sell by their customers.
2. See my above post.
3. Apple is not going to want to race to the bottom against Dell and HP.
Though Apple has some great products that are very well suited to the enterprise, I've given up hope that they're ever going to make a concerted effort to play in that space. Maybe if Schiller ever gets replaced by someone with credible experience managing enterprise sales, but he seems awfully comfortable where he is now, and Steve doesn't mind.
