Yes, work IT environments is the second reason why it's hard for many of us to make the switch. Money's already been invested in hardware and software, so convincing them that Mac is the way to go can be an uphill battle.
The good news is that the tide is changing...with smart decisions by Apple such as PC-friendly devices and software (such as iPhone, iTunes and Boot Camp) Apple is slowly turning the tide...I look forward to being surrounded by great hardware and software by Apple in the near future!
For now, it will have to be the iPhone 3G...if I win it!

Well you could argue for a gradual change by having them institute some Macs with parallel and XP or Vista on it, that way they can still use their current XP or Vista license programs on Mac and train them at the same time for Macs.
