Diving into Leopard, server style

Leopard John C. Welch, Mac expert and zoot suit aficionado, has written a nice piece on Leopard Server. He documents all the major new features specific to the server version, which to be honest you’ll likely never use. The article covers iCal Server, Wiki Server, 64-bit Capabilities, File Services, Web Services, QuickTime Services, iChat Server 2, Mail, Xgrid2, and Open Directory 4.

That’s a lot of geeky terminology. Break out your nerd translator. The really interesting (and longest) portion is the bit on iCal Server, which will allow iCal users to collaborate and share events and whatnot. That’s great for small businesses. It’s all so geeky good that I almost wish I had a reason to set up a Mac or Xserve with it just so I can play with it. If Apple keeps going in this direction and beefing up organization support, they could start taking part of Microsoft’s prized business cake.
