The post discusses the evolution and challenges of Mac servers, particularly focusing on the Xserve and Apple's retreat from the enterprise market. It highlights that Apple's venture into Mac servers, particularly with the Xserve, coincided with a decline in demand for proprietary UNIX systems. The cultural resistance of Apple towards the enterprise IT sector is identified as a significant factor in their limited involvement. Despite potential technical capabilities, the post suggests that historical market timing and Apple's later focus on consumer products diminished the prospects for success in this domain.
