RE: Macs have been rising fast since about 1984.
So, why are they not YET as ubiquitous in the office as Windows based computers?

Because going back over twenty years, underlying virtually every enterprise financial and operations system resides Excel and/or Access. That’s why. And, that’s not going to change anytime soon.

How about the cost of Macs versus good pcs. Last I heard was about 3 times the cost.
One of our younger relatives is a west coast VP of a company that is tech bound. He approved I phones and I pads and they could use the monthly corporate paid service.
When the Apple cult tried to force his company to buy Macs, he settled that problem quickly.
He told his Apple Cult members, the company would give the Mac dreamers the cost of a PC. Then, they had to personally come up with the difference in costs up front and program wise. They would own the Macs when replacement time came in a couple of years.
Guess how many Apple Cult members ponied up the difference two years latter?
Our relative is still waiting for the first one to pony up the difference.
Any engineering company running their proprietary software on a Mac yet?
How about Shell Oil, Chevron or BP?
What about gubmint?
For the same reason you have companies out there with hundreds of employees who are still using 20 year old 16" CRT monitors........
For that answer, all you have to do is read a couple ( couple) of Mac threads here on FR.
I know of no other product line or company, against which is arrayed such a rabid array of (?professional?) FUD and hatred generators.
Mac users, in general, seem to be happy with their choices. Why that upsets a nasty segment of the populace -- who, apparently, equate happiness with homosexuality, etc. -- is beyond me. They'll almost certainly be here on this thread; perhaps someone should ask them to explain the root cause of their maniacal hatred...
Paid Microsoft marketing shills? ¿Quien sabe?...
the authors are mixing tablets with computers.
a ipad/tablet is not the same and does not do the same job.
too bad MS’s new tablet is waaaaaaaaaaay overpriced since it is an actual computer.
