When a Mac goes down. It Really Goes:

That and the varying degrees of networking availability to windows networks (Still the primary network core globally). Oh, and whereas a windows BSOD can be tracked back to a specific driver etc, try and do it on a mac...
Until recently (Intel chips), you couldnt run windows based software on a mac, the conversion was horrific. Also, as a note, when the intel based macs did come out, Adobe (Biggest developer for Mac's) refused to support their apps on intel machines - until they did a new version of that software. Google it. (Creative Suite etc)
Malware, AV, etc. When do people realize that the spyware and viruses were written for windows because it was the dominant OS. Check out http://service1.symantec.com/SUPPORT/num.nsf/docid/2000013111070911 to see what you have to do to update your Mac security software. Automatic by default on a PC. Now that macs are more mainstream, you will start to see alot more problems and risks. As for basic security? Use a firewall router with NAT at the very least. None of your "I just plug my mac in, and im safe on the internet" crap please.
Security alone, macs are nightmares. I manage a PC and Mac infrastructure from the ground up (300 machines), trust me, I know what I am talking about here. Oh, and Mac Server OS? Joke. Just a joke. Tried it, didnt work as well as my calculator.
