Mac for business? Should I use it? Employee monitoring and other software?

The TCO (Total Cost of Ownership) of Macs is much lower than that of Wintel PCs:

Includes the suggestion: "Hey, call apple and ask them. They have a business consulting store. You tell them the size of your company, and what you want to do, and they will find the exact thing for your needs."

Seems like looking for evidence to support your argument rather than vice versa. I'm not anti-mac, I'm anti-fanboy. I think people on here have only related their personal experiences not their prejudices. So far you're the only one showing prejudice by being an obvious fanboy in jumping to the "anti-mac" claim. Nobody has said anything against macs in general only that they don't think they're right for this particular purpose. I actually like macs and have used them in a design (art) environment. Instead of googling for references could you relate your own experiences in information sensitive/secure working environments and the effectiveness of macs? That's all anyone else has done here. Maybe it would be better if the OP looked on objective security/business forums, just directing them to mac forums is obviously a self selected sample and of course they'll tout macs for being secure.
