More enterprise developers is definitely a Good Thing™.

there's a Steve Ballmer movie here somewhere, I can just feel it...

Oh yeah, the Unix guts and openstep make all the difference in a world from a programming point of view. Writing for the old OS was all about painful APIs and an awkward environment that was way too easy to crash. Good riddance to classic.

This is even a shock to Apple. They didn't think there would be such a demand for their enterprise products. At the SF Macworld, Steve wasn't so excited about the server part of his presentation. Now, more gov and education institutions are demanding for the xserves and xraids, and now they have more developers writing for them ... go go go.

When articles say more developers, do they mean software developers making totally new programs or developers writing new code on the pre-installed open source apps ... ie apache, mysql, jboss j2ee etc?
