Well, MacOS sucks, doesn't multitask too well, is crash-prone, and the source
code for whatever you're running is not open to security audit or manual
tweaking/bug-fixing.
That and remote maintenance is probably a sick joke.
But other than that, I'm sure the Mac would make a great platform for
Internet server applications. Why bother with that tricky unix stuff?
Especially linux with it's silly graphical configuration screens and stuff.
hth,
