Oh great
I'm the IT guy in an office with a roughly 60:40 split Windows to Macs. The Macs are far more problematic, largely because the same things that make it a nice OS to use at home are the very things that make it a nightmare in a work environment.
They interoperate with the Windows servers in a way that is very reminiscent of the way Windows machines used to deliberately ignore Unix servers.
Not to mention that Lion server is an absolute dog's breakfast. It contains about half the features of the previous version and barely bloody works.

LOL not just us then!
Macs and their locked files, meaningless crash reports, insatiable bandwidth usage and arrogant users are an absolute bane.
Some Mac keyboards and their CAPS lock too; seems to be like an old cherry keyboard physical toggle, so if left on cannot be untoggled remotly with remote control software and pressing SHIFT when caps lock is on does not give you lowercase characters. Password entry ? - AAArrrgh!
Not entirely their fault; but Outlook 2011 is driving us fucking insane too, everything Adobe makes for mac is a close second.
Thank goodness for parallels and all things thin client/server.
PS, while I am in the mood; did you know Apple uses Microsoft's Azure service for about 60% of its online services? Where does your precious MobileMe and iTunes cloud data live ? - Redmond, that's where.
