MS makes HUGE, obscene amounts of money for support folk.
At a former employer we went from 1200 Macs with one tech support guy (me), to no Macs, 900 Windows machines, and 12 support folk. Oh, IT said it would be cheaper to go with Windows, they were wrong. The first year we spent over $100,000 just recovering data from failed laptop HD's, that alone was twice as much money as my whole Mac support budget.
