Why anyone would use anything Microsoft is beyond me. I exclusively use Apple and have not had a virus in 5 years. The only place I use the dinosaur computer with Microsoft is at work......they won’t get Apple because of the cost but then again they are constantly having to do computer maintenance on their system and computers which ends up costing more.....so dumb....no wonder businesses are failing.....they are so dumb with money and finances just like the American Public.
Cost is the big factor. I can, and have, purchased a Microsoft compatible computer for around $800 that does everything I want and with the software I need. The inconvenience of having to constantly download updates and patches is a cheap price to pay. IMHO
If you’re developing in-house software then Apple is the wrong choice. They guard the API like the Crown Jewels and charge developers a small fortune. Windows or linux are the way to go for any custom business apps.
