>why would you use windows nowadays?

One thing people have not mentioned is Enterprise.

Just because its all webapps does not mean everyone can move to a Chromebook.

The ecosystem of HP/DELL/Lenovo Thinkpad hardware + Windows 10/11 OS + management over Azure AD or on-prem AD that hooks into Office 365 and most other apps. Plus all ERP and HR software that run on Windows Servers.

Yes the USERS are mostly on the Office 365 suite and webapps for things. But their PCs have to be managed and apps have to be served.




I know of a very large company - the second largest employer in the US has no problem managing Macs at scale.


Jamf is a thing, yes I know :)
