Macs may be stylish but, for the most part, in business it's all PC. Creative professionals have known the magic of the Mac for over a decade but the suit and tie guys have never been willing to give up the utilitarian Windows network.

That may be changing. During the fourth fiscal quarter, Apple sold 1.61 million macs. That's 30% more than the same period a year ago, and only 5% less than the growth rate of the unstoppable iPod.

Several recent Apple moves have helped to change the playing field substantially. The switch to Intel chips, Apple's new Boot Camp software which allows Macs to run Windows XP in a pinch, and Google CEO Eric Schmidt's decision to join Apple's board, are all contributing to the Cupertino kids gains in corporate America.
