My job has nothing to do with supporting users running PC's. The fact
that 99% of the business world runs on PC's and not Macs is

the things I use a PC for in the business world, I'd find similar
issues, possibly one's that are unresolvable because a Mac would not
be supported or not supported yet, unless running as a Windows PC.
So you work in the IT department of a large business with 100 + PCs?
How many in the dept.? 3, 5, 9 including servers support and
networking?
That's job security sir!
If they had all Macs, your biggest headache would be new hires who
can't adapt to life being easier than they were accustomed to on their
PCs at school or their previous job. And your IT dept. would be half
the size it is now. Perhaps just one certified Apple consultant on
call, but that's pushing it on my behalf.
The PC, and Windows architecture guarantee jobs for a support staff.
Which more than makes up for the buy-in costs of the Apple Macintosh
hardware and bundled software.
