My dad's company just moved to all Macs in the office so they don't have to worry about paying a contracted sysadmin. iPhones are about to surpass Blackberries as the corporate phone of choice.
I agree with the first sentence.
What's business is your dad's company in? I work for a major IT company and while the publishing folks use macs, there are many more people here who couldn't do their job as easily without a PC, including me and my whole team.

Hold your horses there on the iPhone. While it may be able to compete on featureset, it's no where NEAR Blackberries in the corporate world. I agree that twenty and thirty-somethings would choose the iPhone but have you seen how many freaking drones in their 40s and 50s have BBs strapped to their hip? It will takes years for the marketplace to mature enough for the iPhone to get picked more often than a BB.

"Here, at last, is the cure for texting while driving. The millions of deaths which occur every year due to the iPhone’s ability to stream the Kim K/Ray-J video in 4G could all be avoided, every last one of them, if the government issued everyone a Seventies 911 and made sure they always left the house five minutes later than they’d wanted to. It would help if it could be made to rain as well. Full attention on the road. Guaranteed." -Jack Baruth
