Mac Computers in the business world, Wishful thinking?

Within the finance industry, and many other industries, there is very little use of Mac operating system and Apple hardware. In this, the first installment of a series of blogs, I will try to depict the reasons that Mac's are not as prevalent in the workplace as PCs.
1. Mac is proprietary - No one else can make them, they are made by one company, and serviced by one company, Apple.
2. Relatively new - Many corporations would need an absolute IT overhaul to switch to the Apple computers, this could be extremely costly.
3. Hardware costs more - Apple computers are very expensive as compared to PCs
4. Financial information systems tend to run on PC. Therefore most financial software is not optimized for MAC OS
