Is there any particular reason you want to go MAC? Planning on hiring a bunch of young people and going for "hip?"
My personal experience is that transitions are hard enough without having the tedium of having to re-learn basic processes and functionality that were once taken for granted; akin to starting a basketball team but instead of working on offense and defense, you have to spend a few weeks in the locker room teaching them how to get dressed and tie their shoes.
If theres' a really, really good reason -- that's another story. But don't fool yourself: MAC's are not easy to use if you've been using Windows all your life -- especially if you've been grudgingly using Windows all your life. I have a hard time envisioning ever inflicting MACs on my Sales Floor Staff...

Edited for clarity; it's been some time since I've logged into a DDC site.
I'll agree that there are some potential pitfalls to this equation, but I'll note that I ran a computer lab back in my college days. At first, it was four PCs, then three PCs and a hand-me-down Mac (still on OS X). The Mac had far fewer problems staying up. When the time came to replace these computers, I pressed for four iMacs running both OS X (Leopard, I think was the current version then) and Windows XP in a dual-boot setup. When all I had to do to fix any Windows problem was jump into the OS X administrator account and re-image, life got a LOT easier.
For all the similar problems I run into among salespeople (we have IT staff, but not onsite...you know what happens then), I long for the day I can say an iPad would do what they need. Much harder (though not impossible) for a salesman to bork its software.
