What I took from that is not that it's a Mac vs. PC thing, but a typical office user vs. creative user thing. Figure, their PCs are probably your normal office drone setups. AD logon, Office, probably not much more. People log on, check their Exchange accounts, write emails and word docs, edit Excel spreadsheets, and that covers their computing needs. Connect to the one network printer down the hall... "Creatives" as they call them are probably the media department type folks. They'll have Mac Office, but they'll also have a suite of Adobe stuff, maybe a few other tools too. Digital cameras, scanners, maybe a wide format printer, etc. A bit more in the way of peripherals, programs, and in turn file formats to deal with. My experience has been more that the more stuff that can go wrong, the more calls you'll wind up getting.
