Sharepoint is indeed a nice evironment. For Windows users, using Windows
Office and IE on Windows.
If you are on a Mac, the "richness" of the Sharepoint environment is so
degraded so as to be more properly called "crippled". If your "few hundred"
mac users are satisfied with a crippled enviroment, or doing all sharepoint
work via VMs or Remote Desktop Client, then more power to you. But lets be
honest here: Sharepoint for !Windows users is a vastly different environment
than Sharepoint for Windows users.

Centrify is a good solution, but it's also not cheap, although depending on
your specific needs, may work quite well to you, as long as you keep in mind
that having a "one GPO for all clients" environment is not going to be
realistically attainable.
