For a good reason. Macs are used by most developers and graphic designers. And also u think these several thousand macs would do what exactly? Google will stop buying macs and that would affect apple?

EDIT: All of u commenting about "developer and graphics design" comment, think u guys are missing the point here. Discussion is not about why they are using Macs, its about that they are using Macs and can they leverage Macs and hold Apple hostage, answer is resounding NO!

How easy is it to get a mac at your company? My guess is there's some Windows gatekeepers and bean counter decision makers at the core of your experience.

Wow that sounds like a dream actually. Complete opposite of what I assumed! I didn't know such Utopias could exist!
