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

Macs just work, that's the advantage. This is of course a result of having hardware and OS from the same vendor.

And "just works" is very important if you have a lot highly paid employees trying to get as much consultant fees as possible from your clients.

In other words, IBM can't afford anything but the best.
