There are some IT roles for which Mac is suitable and some for which it is not.
It works for me, by and large without virtualisation as I do not need the technical tools such as Visio and my DB access is solved by using a Citrix connection to the DB server.
Even MS Office has limitations on Mac, especially Excel, I have to use some very large spreadsheets, often over 500,000 rows and the Mac really struggles with these.
The problem is at least partly because both Apple and Microsoft blame the other for shortcomings of using a key Microsoft product on an Apple environment. I often feel like banging their corporate heads together.
