Our network has iMacs, Macbook Airs, Mac Minis, and Ubuntu systems. I
like them all of them for different reasons. But in my experience, the
Macs are not as reliable under load, and applications can more easily
crash the OS (particularly MS Office).

If you want to run Windows as a VM on a Linux host, there's always KVM.
