This kind of attitude really worries me.  There are aspects of Apple's
corporate attitude I dislike and this has affected my decisions when
spending my own money.  However, when advising others, I consider that I
have a duty to be objective.  This means that while I may explain my
concerns about Apple's policies I would not go out of my way to dig up dirt
about the companies products, many of which are quite excellent.

If you think there are sound reasons why your organisation should not buy
Apple products, then why not make these clear.  This seems to me to be far
more honest than trying to rubbish products about which you seem to have
very little knowledge.
