As further evidence of the growing interest in Macs among enterprise customers, IBM's Research Information Services launched an internal pilot program designed to study the possibility of moving significant numbers of employees to the Mac platform. The study has already found an enthusiastic response from participants and is helping to drive Mac support for IBM's business applications.

Because maybe support is cheaper? Not saying one way or another, just that if it is a significant cost saving there, that could be reason to switch.
Hypothetically
IT staff of 5 maintaining 100 windows comps = $400,000
if they could do 2 IT staff for 100 macs = $160,000
seems reason enough to me, assuming everything else worked just as well
