Not sure if any of the following are true but:
1. Its too difficult to use: Windows is easier
2. Everyone uses Windows: why make people learn two systems
3. Our printers / whiteboards use Windows
4. We share our files / macros with other users running windows
5. Ofsted / our auditors use windows
6. We have bought our software: why do we need to change?
7. We're too busy
8. We don't have anyone who can manage it and our outsourcers only handle
windows.
9. Whats wrong with Windows?
10. We use xyz program that only runs in windows
11. Total cost of ownership is cheaper, but no we won't tell our reasons.
I am sure there are a few more
