One of the big features Macs have for me is that I can call customer service any time of day and they can work through any serious issue I have with my Mac. I've only had to call a few times, but they were able to work out some pretty serious issues quickly each time. I think the longest I was on the phone was 1.5hrs to find out that my own IT dept had screwed up Casper settings that I couldn't fix.
For a work machine I don't really want to do that kind of debugging myself. I just want it to work. I've been running Linux at home for about a decade and usually have no issues, but when I do I'm not dead in the water with project deadline hanging over my head.
