Hi Sean Apple is trying to squeeze the other hardware vendors out it would seem. Although sometimes the validation doesn't seem to work as expected, on many occasions it can fail, giving something like an error 1014 or 1004 with a very misleading message.
I think that, had we mot been quite so financially committed, we would probably have tried to go down the Linux road for our servers. But that isn't an option now. Apple is doing some very strange things nowadays. Of course, I'm not privy to all of the stuff that goes on inside of Apple. These are just things I'm being told by certain people within the organisation.
