Editing software and hardware

[Hellbringer]

For my class, I got to visit a news agency in the DC area recently, and I noticed that while the older crowd and the people who didn't have a direct hand in production used windows computers, the younger crowd and especially those involved in editing and publishing content on the web used Apple computers.

While there's compatibility issues IT-wise, at least from my perspective, what benefits does a Mac Pro have over a regular windows computer when it comes to production of audio and/or video broadcasts?

I presume the studio was using boot camp as well on the Mar Pros, but I'm confused as to why they have two different types of computers being used on the same floor.
