There is a LOT of things going for Mac/Linux vs Windows - mainly 
security, but also the reduced costs and maintenance time are a big bonus.

Macs and Linux are largely interchangeable.

Windows has more proprietory software, but if you are Linux savvy you 
can do more with Linux/Mac with scripts etc..

No.

Yes, we use Mac OS X in the consulting rooms and Ubuntu 9.04/9.10 for 
the office computers.
