Been there, experienced that. Some of the arguments I've seen varied from the valid, like the fact that Apple didn't support parallel port printers, to the absurd and inane, like the spring strength in Apple's keyboards. And then there are all the sacred cows of corporate culture based around business running windows.
That having been said, I don't think I used Safari on any platform for more than downloading Firefox.

That also may be why the new Windows 8 is viewed so skeptically by the PC user community. It may be very useful, but it ain't Windows as defined by the user community.

Haven't run into that, actually. I've only seen one Windows user who is even a little nervous about Win8; most of them are welcoming it with open arms like its going to be the next Windows XP or something.
