In some cases, this is due to the growth of traditional Mac environments, but for the most part it has to do with \"switcher\" campaigns, where Windows and\/or Linux environments are migrating to Mac OS X. However, there is a steep culture shock with these types of migrations. The products that are used are different, the nomenclature is different, and most importantly the best practices for dealing with the operating system are different.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eApple provides a number of tools to help automate and guide IT toward managing a large number of Mac OS X computers—it has since before Mac OS X was initially released.
