The study has already found an enthusiastic response from participants and is helping to drive Mac support for IBM's business applications.

Actually, you would probably need to hire unix guys, which are typically expensive. And they would probably have some trouble, as noone really has experience with large scale mac deployments. Not only that, but it is easier to have one team with the skillset to manage 200 machines then two teams managing 100 each.

I think it has alot more to do with what he says in the intro, that they are seeing alot of people coming in who are more comfortable on macs and are asking for them.
