There are many, many companies that allow their employees to use either
Mac or Windoze (or anything else sensible). The servers and the
hardware manufacturer are irrelevant as long as the software needed to
do the work is available for Mac ... and as long as the IT department

when employees computers actually do what they're meant to do without
Bluescreening every five minutes.
