Salesforce is currently signed up in an agreement with Dell, but as their licenses expire, their IT department is apparently planning for a switch over to Mac. Reasons for the switch are hazy, but one major factor is said to be security. Salesforce would rather pay the extra expense up front to purchase Mac systems, instead of paying insane costs to safeguard all of their Windows systems.

Salesforce is somewhat buddy/buddy with Apple already. They were on-board with Apple from the start with iPhone, and were even brought on stage at the iPhone SDK event some time back.

As per usual, this is just rumor and speculation at this point… But what a huge switch that would be. Could it be that we’ll see more and more large corporations making the switch to Mac, especially now that the iPhone has arrived on the enterprise scene?
