PC's are cheaper. Simple.

Desktop + Portable device x the amount used by the government = hundreds of millions of dollars.

Even a $1 diff would probably cost the government more than $10M. So why would they spend that amount of taxpayer's monies? They would never be able to justify it, especially with the abundance of tech guys for windows-based hardware.

Honestly, would you want to see your tax money spent on a profit margin? Good product or not, Apple has always placed a wider profit margin on their products compared to rival PC offerings.

Besides, there aren't any portable Mac OS's. Everything is just much easier when your main PC and your portable are running the same OS brand.
