That's odd what you say about government. I've been having to file stuff with the government for close to two decades and that's why we originally got rid of the Apples. None of the government agencies could interact with the Apple computers.
The schools used to use them quite a bit but that changed about 10 years ago for the same reason.
My opinion about Apple is that they are frequently the first but rarely the best. Keeping their source code secret is one of the big things has kept them a niche (5% market share) computer.
