Through work I have contact with dozens if not hundreds of business owners on a constant basis. I would estimate Mac penetration into the business environment at about 20%.
The days of incompatible file formats and hardware are mostly over. Many programs you will use in a business environment have Mac counterparts. The hardware you are most likely to use - keyboards, mice, monitors, USB drives, etc. - generally will work on both platforms.
Apples are for children, artists or dreamers with their heads in la-la land.

I simply needed to explain the justified dislike of the Socialist Apple Corporation.
It was priceless irony at the fall of the USSR, that Boris Yeltsin called his New Russian Socialist Party, "Yabloko" (Я́блоко) which is Cyrillic for Apple.
