I have to take issue with your headline here: I read through all the comments yesterday, and by no means all of them were from Apple users; indeed, the ones with the most telling points were those from professionals who work in mixed Mac/PC environments.
The overwhelming majority of these highlighted how much less IT support the Macs required when compared to the PCs, often dramatically so, leading to much lower Total Owenership Cost.
And yet, the only person from a mixed environment quoted in today's article was the man from Tower Hamlets who takes a minority viewpoint.
