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.

They originally did that... then there were some problems so they just gave me a crappy Dell to run one lousy program. We actually came close to hiring someone to write a similar program for Mac.

There is no doubt there is an incumbent advantage in computers. Change is $'s. Especially if you do it all at once. We did it one desktop at a time, so if somebody got stuck they could ask a previous Mac user for advice. Really went smooth.
