It's very possible at MS. Their Office app. for Mac is considered
better then that for Windows. They have a rather large Mac devision.
I don't know if anyone clued into my jab at Windows when it came to
the recent STS-120, but they've had nothing but problems with their
software. It's amazing they're actually getting anything done. I was
almost pulling my hair out when mission control was having the
astronauts going through multiple steps to fix problems. I was
thinking, why not just try restarting the damn computer. The next day
MC asked if the astronauts had done certain steps, they'd had a
communications outage. They're answer was, 'We just tried rebooting,
and now it works.'
If you have DirectTV you can watch the folly on NASATV.

Though I find it hard to believe that someone working in the MS
complex would be using a Mac, I guess it's possible. It would not
be surprising that a contractor would be using a Mac for the
reasons Tom mentions.
