When we had Windows machines, our non technical staff often needed our support guy to come in and fix problems with the network or with the Exchange server or whatever. Since we went 100% Mac he never got called again. It's a big factor.
On a personal level I've had Macs since 1984 - 1995, then went Windows between 1995 - 1999, then back to Mac in 1999 just before OS X came out. OS X was the killer, knowing it was based on NeXTStep was a huge factor from both a development and usability perspective. The only other OS I use is Centos on our servers.
