I exchange files between my Mac and Windows people every day. (Fortunately, I don't need to use any Windows apps that don't have Mac equivalents, but if I did, I could always pick up a cheapo Dell or something, I guess.
Though I don't use Linux, I don't think it would be any harder to learn to use than Windoze for non-Western gov't folks. Of course, the Mac would be easiest, but it might be a bit pricey for them, unless Apple offers them a really good deal on quantity.
