I heard today that Mitre no longer supports OSX in their organization. This
was represented as "they allow staff to use Macs, but the help desk and
computer support personnel do not support them".

Does anybody know if there is any truth to this rumor?

Some. It's a more complex thing than it sounds. MITRE's internal infrastructure is built upon common standards. Mail, for example, can be read over IMAP4; but if you call the helpdesk with a client problem and it's not Outlook using IMAP4, you're probably going to have limited help. The same goes for all UNIX users, of course, and there are plenty of Linux and Sun desktops in the company as well.

That said, MITRE is probably the best at internal information sharing that I've ever encountered, so internal community support is excellent for all platforms.
