    They’re trying to catch up to Apple, rather than the other way round. Competition is good but they are barely going for the same markets.

        The startup world is almost entirely Apple, maybe a windows box for someone in finance who can’t be assed to learn how to do things outside of excel. If someone tried to take the macs away at any of my last five jobs, there would be riots.

        Out of interest, what can’t you do with macOS that you can with Windows?

        I use a Mac at work - and am the only Mac user in the company. The only reason I keep a Windows VM is because there’s some annoying compatibility issues with Excel when linking to documents on our shared drive, so if I’m doing that, I’ll do it in Windows for the benefit of the others.

        To be fair, we don’t use any proprietary software, or anything like that, but for general day to day office work, my Mac is 100% capable.
