Sure - if you talk with folks from Apple you'll understand that they don't 
market to enterprises in that way because, well, that's not usually where 
people who make enterprise decisions pay attention :)

Also, they are still working on some of their enterprise level stuff. They 
know they aren't ready and they aren't pushing it yet.  But I think we 
will see an enterprise targeted iPhone and some other initiatives later 
this year now that 10.5 is out the door.

They do have a pretty compelling story to tell when it comes to desktop 
management - although you have to talk to the right folks to hear it. 
That's something they really need to work on - they have examples for 
management scrips and procedures that are pretty hot - rivals stuff you 
can do with AD and SMS.  That knowledge is unfortunately buried in only a 
few people's heads and no up on the web for general consumption.
