As a small company we just trasitioned from all PC to about 80% Mac, and it wasn't too bad. Still I have a Mac and a PC on my desk because one lousy mission critical app is nowhere to be found for Mac.

I imagine IT guys shudder when thinking about that change for 1000's of desktops.

This is the key problem that keeps getting in the way of AAPL's success in business. Yes, there are workarounds, but they mostly involve time and expense.

This is why someone's argument the other day that CEOs are idiots in making the decision to stay with Windows is full of holes. There are just too many things you can't do on a Mac because the software isn't there.

When we have someone running a Mac that wants access to our Windows apps, we put them on Remote Desktop or Terminal Services, which functions reasonably well at zero cost.

That could be an option for you that is simple to do and generally need not involve more IT dollars.
