Apple
Apple Inc. designs and manufactures computers, consumer electronics and closely-related software products.
Apple & Small Business
Apple manufactures software and hardware that small businesses use all over the world including laptops operating systems. It has been especially successful in industries that focus on graphics, video and audio. However, many businesses have not used Apple products because, in the past Apple computers did not run on the Windows operating system, the operating system used by the vast-majority of businesses. All new Apple computers today have the ability to run both the Apple Operating System, OS X, and versions of the Windows, including Windows XP and Vista.
