I've seen very few Macintosh computers in corporate environments. Their use is mostly limited to graphic designers' desktops. That datapoint doesn't support your idea that ease of use was really the most important thing for corporate desktops. My personal opinion is that the industry has "standardized" on MS Office, Windows, etc. and that is one of the major reasons people don't want to leave. Windows may not be intuitive, but the majority of the work force is trained and familiar with it.

I think this can and will change, but it will not be an overnight transition.
