I'm afraid I'll have to pull seniority here.
Built my first personal computer in December 1976
Programmed it with tiny Basic in January 1977
Bought the 5th Apple II made in May, 1977
Integrated Apple IIs into the workplace (Chiat/Day) 1979-81
Integrated Apple IIIs 1981
Introduced Kaypro 1983
Managed advertising for Microsoft 1983-1986
Managed advertising/marketing for Quarterdeck 1987-1993
Introduced first digital PC camera, 1991-2
Introduced first VoIP-enabling multiplexor, 1993
Board of Advisors: CyberMedia 1991-93
Developed ecommerce site selected as Microsoft case study, 1998
(that's just the highlights)
Having been on both sides of this debate for years, I can tell you that there is definitely an entrenched IT industry supporting Windows -- in many cases against all logic. Where I have seen equivalent installations -- especially in aerospace. the legal industry and manufacturing, Mac support overhead has typically been about 20% of the support overhead needed by Wintel platforms.
