The second thing we were able to do with our office was actually use Apple Computers as primary workstations. Now that you've picked yourself up off the floor, we can continue.
The main reason we chose Apple is not the hardware, but OS X and Parallels. This allows the beasties to pull a hat trick. The OS X, Linux, Windows cocktail allow us to run apps that are platform specific, all on one station if we need to. Plus the design is so choice. This office will be staffed primarily by creative types. A recent article on Technology Review tries to explain the appeal of The Apple Macintosh and I think it does a fairly good job at it.

"...Norman says, when you're in a bad mood, when you're tense, you tend to be less creative--and less patient with the tools you're using. "Someone in a positive mood," Norman says, "faced with something that doesn't work, might say, 'Oh, I'll get around it.' But someone in a negative mood will get frustrated and have a 'Damn it' moment." That's where design comes in. "Studies tie attractive design to positive attitude," he says."
