Depends on the environment. My last company was very win-centric. Nothing we had would ever work on a Mac.
My current job is at a very tech savvy company. Half our employees are SE's and many with a Unix background and a number of them like Mac's. They need very little if any support. The reason I just got my Mac is because we now officially allow staff to buy their own Mac's for work and we will support it.

Even fewer headaches that way :-) Malcolm From: Edwards, David [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, 23 May, 2008 17:40 To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: Mac on 2003 Domain Our policy is that if the user wants a non standard system, he is on his own for support. We give him the tools like VPN clients, and access information but beyond that, it is his/her problem. Our management backs that approach, they don't want us spinning our wheels and the user loosing productivity by not using a company standard system. Yeah, it took some convincing at first but when an Exec. VP wasted a day trying to get his MAC to do something a WINPC already could do, it was a no brainer.
