Specially if "coming from a large company" There are business rules, standards and simply the way things are done at each company that have absolutely nothing to do with technical merits... these are many times the things you will need to use to convince the business side to let you choose a tool/OS. I would venture to say that you would get a more favorable response from the business if you show them you are making decisions based on "your setup" and not based solely on "specs". At the very least pick one or two computers for 3 to 5 days and play with each OS. That is very little compared to how much time it would take you to migrate from one OS to another after you have configured everything and it was not what you expected/wanted.
