According to the end user license agreement of Apple’s recently released OS, Leopard, the software is not intended to be used for mission critical operations like nuclear power plants. The EULA has this line entry saying…
Leopard is “not intended for use in the operation of nuclear facilities, aircraft navigation or communication systems, air traffic control systems, life support machines or other equipment in which the failure of the Apple software could lead to death, personal injury or severe physical or environmental damage.”
That statement is open to so many interpretations:
So, that leaves Ubuntu, Microsoft and the rest to do the critical jobs.

i think “enterprise” has a lower reliability requirement than “mission critical”. making sure office applications are one thing, making sure nuclear power plants work reliably are another. these are two different market areas.
i don’t think even MS is going to the “mission critical” area. can you imagine the horror we’d have to face if a windows run nuke plant ever goes online.

Hahaha!
Imagine seeing a blue-screen-of-death in space!

Apple is playing in the safe side of the road. ;D
Red says:
huh?
macs or apple computers are installed with unix os´! how can they not include a mac in high end computing like enterprise?
duh…unix is the most powerful operating system in the world and unix-like still goes with that.
Miguel says:
Even commercial Unix (e.g. Solaris) cannot be used for such applications. You need a Real Time OS for that.
sylv3rblade says:
Miguel is right.
Imagine if Nasa computers were to run on Windows XP and suddenly decides to BSOD during the launch countdown of one of it’s space shuttles (bad example but you get the idea).
Operations that are really critical like Air Traffic Control systems have their OS’s built from the ground up (and no, this does not mean they have to reinvent the wheel)
jhay says:
It’s clear that Apple is targeting the “digital home” not the industrial centers. Imagine a nuclear submarine running Windows, even if its Vista and the BSoD makes an appearance.
It’s a Tom Clancy novel instantly turned into a nighmarish reality.

dang!, you mean i cannot use leopard for my anti-matter research facility? ooopps!

Remember when the Chinese government tried adopting Linux? They out found that their workers would switch over to Windows to socialize. So now, they’ve officially made Windows the government’s official OS. In addition, they began cracking down on piracy when Gates made an offer they couldn’t refuse: $7 per copy w/ revenue sharing, access to the source code.

Initiating FUD?
+1 for Migs. Apple is telling you that they know their limitations.
Nice try though. Heh.
Bogdan says:
Hmm, they stated that just to be covered in case something bad happens.
It is just the same case as to when microwaves appeared on the market, and people killed their cats just to sue the manufacturer and get tons of money.
Tom says:
The microwave cat analogy is a little disturbing, but true with the point Bogdan was trying to make.
