Every Mac I see advertised is roughly double the price of an equivalent PC - been that way since about the time the Mac was invented (maybe since about the IIc). And as badly as they handle Windows, the thought of them having to cope with linux is even more scary.
What they need are windows terminals that just play on the web (for real apps, they hook up to managed terminal servers, where hopefully someone that knows what they are doing does the installs and backups).
