[OT] Office X-serve vs windows standard server 2008

I have had several consultants look at my office and they are
suggesting two different approaches.

One is saying we should use an Apple Xserve rather than a windows machine.

They state that the SBS requires to be the controller of everything
and does not play well with others. Whereas the Xserve provides a
lower total cost of ownership when compared to MS server and provides
similar services and will integrate seamlessly with the exchange
server.

Can anyone shed any light on this?

We are a 45 strong office looking to expand. Currently we only run
Windows PCs, but we many have a couple of Macs later.

The Xserve seems cheaper than a similar HP DL360 5450 others are proposing.

Be interesting to get your opinion on this.

Thanks

Ho-Yin
