Good luck with trying to justify a Mac. If your IT guys aren't already set up for it, they are likely to protest. I have about 4 security/inventory/antivirus programs running on my machine at work. Our IT guys would't even let me buy a new PC and hook it up to our network because it has to be configured in a specific way. I'd be happy just to get off of XP.
