the prices are about the same, and considering the apple won’t get killed with spyware, and viruses it will save us in the end, the mac is also much more user friendly; I work in an office where people suck at computers, the mac is just easier.
Not to mention the great look of the apple desktop; no need for large towers when everthing is built into the screen; it makes the company look cutting edge, image is huge.

It might work for you and if you have customers who are in your office all the time to see how “capable” or whatever your business is by looking “cutting edge”, more power to you. Not just Apple makes an integrated computer that doesn’t have a bulky tower, etc.
Simply put for the majority of the business users out there cannot use OSX because of the lack of software in the business world and thus, Apple is not a viable option.
Let’s put the virus/spyware debate to bed, shall we. Why does Windows have so many viruses and spyware threats? Because it’s adopted by the majority of the people out there. Windows has the most market share, the most amount of users checking it out under the microscope and therefor the most amount of flaws will be exposed. I don’t care if one OS is more secure than another, nothing is flawless. If Apple or Linux had the same share, you’d see the same kind of trends. Obviously that is speculation because that scenario is highly unlikely to happen.
