I have always loved macs...well since they switched to Intel processors... but could not stand OS X Server. Nothing ever worked right for me with OSX Server and then the documentation on it was horrendous.
I tried using it for a client one time. It didn't work, at all. We escalated the issue to Apple support all the way to engineering. Engineering was super helpful and responsive but their final answer was "the product just doesn't work and Apple is not going to fix or address it, broken is simply the state of the product and will remain so." And that was that. It's simply a non-viable, unsupported product. I would never touch it again.
The two servers I put in, OpenDirectory (or whatever apple calls it) corrupted on both of them... big pain to rebuild.
Yup, Apple just isn't a business focused company. Sure their desktops are better than their server, but the overall issues are really that Apple just doesn't take business needs seriously and still sees their products as an entertainment platform, not a business one.
