As HotButton pointed out, you may want to run one station through the entire changeover and see how it goes for a month or three before changing over the whole department.

It sucks even more to have to source new apps as yet another work around. Just be sure any software modules and web apps you use now swing both ways. I work on both platforms in this shop but the main bulk of my work is done on a mac and after years of learning that set of workarounds, I’d be downright ornery about having to learn new ones. I’d expect a certain amount of pushback from any long term employees, or even short term ones that expected to be working in a mac environment.

From the standpoint of an employee affected by the change, it’s mostly a matter of getting used to a new operating system and, possibly, needing to develop a few workarounds for previous ways of doing things.
