Sorry TW, but I believe that statistic is a bit misleading (and that's a good thing for Apple) as I would bet the % of actual devices (outside of tablets and phones) would be less than 1%. I lived in the corporate IT world before retireing 7 years ago. Saw exactly 1 Apple device on my networks during my tenure with IBM, two megabanks and another F500, and would still be w/ HP (a once glorious company) had I not said "adios". Just my perspective and .02 worth....but I "might" be a dinosaur by now too
