I've worked at a few places where windows was the default machine (including for IT) and macs were only issued when requested or required. A lot of times the IT folks are forced to use a macbook simply because they need one to recover and reset their fleet of macbooks. I've also seen companies forced to ship a whole new mac out to employees in locations without an apple store when a simple reset would have solved the problem. I think this sucks. People should be able to repair their mac without needing to own another one!
