    Fabulous news  ... as is AAPL ... just approaching $267!
    The title and article don't say much. Using Apple products in 100% of companies simply means that they either issue or allow iPhones and iPads for at least one employee. Chances are they are using Windows, Linux, and Unix servers, Windows for most of their traditional PCs, and then support iPhone and Android, and probably some iPads for various executive needs or particular employees that use it as an appliance. I'd be surprised if this stat hasn't been the case for a decade.
    Apple doesn't go after the Server Market. They are going after the desktop/laptop, tablet and smartphone market. That's their sweetspot. It's still a pretty impressive change from 5 to 10 years ago and with IBM, they've gone from 0 to 200,000 Macs deployed at IBM Global. 200,000 Macs out of 500,000 computer is about 40%. Now, if ever company used 40% Macs vs PCs and that same percentage was the same amongst the consumer base, Apple would be leaps and bounds the largest personal computer mfg. in the world. But more and consumers and companies are leveraging smartphones or an iPad as for some employees, that's all they really need to perform their job.
