You bring up a good point that I completely missed. These are
management decisions, not general IT decisions. I'm sorry, I've just
become biased dealing with the incompetent IT at the school I go to
who've actually told me, months after I started using my iBook on
their wireless network that macs have never worked on their wireless
network. Right, I must have imagined that internet connection into
existence.

Please don't generalize about a "staff of incompetent IT" pushing
these kinds of decisions, because at the University I work for, and
several others that I know about, it's not the IT staff who hate
Macs, but the IT MANAGEMENT who decide "thou shalt standardize".
We've lost several Mac & UNIX labs over the past few years because
they weren't "getting enough use, and we'll save money by
standardizing the labs." With the volume deals that our supplier
of XP boxes gives us, we actually do save some money, unless you
count the amount of time spent diagnosing problems or calling for
warranty service or putting "out of order" signs on the PCs.
