That reason doesn't hold water anymore, if it ever really did. How is it that Macs manage to pretty much avoid all the problems that plague Windows computers? They do have their own set of problems, but nothing like the problems I've had with windows.
We made the same change, personally, and at work. I do all my main work on on iMac, and PC's run the lasers and other machines, but no one surfs the internet or gets emails on a PC here. For at least 6-7 years now, all I've been hearing is that "You just wait, it's coming to Macs" and 6-7 years later, I can report I've had a stress free life from that stuff for the whole time. For me, not having to deal with that stuff was money well spent.
