So with Mac OS X based on Unix, does that mean ....if the server which
is running windows, supports Unix...then all of the Unix supported things(like I'm guessing mail, ecommerce, etc) will be able to be ran with Mac OS X?
Sortof.
Any platform (OS:Browser) should be able to talk to any server.
But there are stumbling blocks / limitations that you, as a hosting provider or page author (webmaster), have to deal with:
Browser's vs Web Author's standards support.
ECMA Script (JavaScript) version support and engine bugs.
JAVA version support and engine bugs.
Other plug-in support and bugs.
MS-proprietary enhancements to Java, JavaScript, etc, and its bugs.
The MS "solution" to this mess is to enable the "feature" in IIS servers that simply locks out all non-Windows non-IE platforms.
FWIW, - Dan.
