I love Apple and I can consider myself a real-apple-fanboi, yes, but sometimes I really don’t understand Apple’s business strategy, I know that I’m not an analyst or somebody with a master in business, but when it comes to gain or profit one must sell and Apple is not selling adequally its Mac OS X Server, just a few thousands when it can do better than that. How?

Just launch the Mac OS X Server for PCs, Dell, HP and other will be more than happy to have a Mac OS X based server solution that can fit in their Windows environment and is aggresively priced. It may be that Apple doesn’t want to sell its Server OS or this is something designed to keep Windows servers from entering the mac based companies.

Mac OS X Server is a mature server system and can be offered with any pc hardware and place Apple inside companies that have been reluctant to buy macs.

It’s possible to have Mac OS X Server running on Dell or HP computers and it won’t cannibalize OS X sales on Mac, it is a different market segment, but it will finally depend on how Apple orchestrates this endeavour, while Apple hasn’t demonstrated any intention to promote OS X Server beyond the Mac, its sale can generate enough money for Apple to consider it and Dell and HP can use it as a weapon against Microsoft.

It is a win-win situation, Apple wins market and profit from selling Mac OS X Server on PCs and PC makers get a better and cheaper Server OS to profi from.
