I'm sure this will sound like a stupid question but...

I'm currently invloved with "planning" resource expansion for my
company. The problem is that there are some folks here that think a
MAC is god's gift to computers, even in a scientific computing arena.
I'm trying to convince them otherwise and need some "accurate"
ammunition. What I want to know is, "what precisely did Apple do to
inspire boycotting?" I have a general idea, but I need facts and
figures to present to my boss. Can anyone help?
