Some will use Linux or Mac or a cloud based solution where possible (such as for GPGPU), but by far the most popular alternative to the latest and greatest Windows is some older, lesser Windows that doesn't create excitement or lock-in.
- pjmlp 9y agoNot at all around the enterprise customers I work with. No Macs in sight, other than some shared machines for iOS development, GNU/Linux is left for server development and everyone else is on Windows per IT policy.. And when I happen to attend a GDC related event, there are only Windows and OS X devices on sight. Some of those Mac laptops are actually running Windows.
- fauigerzigerk 9y agoAs I said, by far the most popular alternative is an "older, lesser Windows", which is almost synonymous with "enterprise". I think Microsoft makes some great software that isn't getting used as much as it could be.
