Imagine the opposite scenario for Apple and how absurd it sounds: designers at Apple designing features for MacOS or iOS using Windows OS laptops.
This prompts the following question: What design apps are the Microsoft designers using on a Mac that they can't use on a Windows machine? (Is it Mac-only Sketch?)

The main designer tools, as far as I am aware, are bundled in the Adobe suite and that works on windows, as well as Mac. But there are tons of other designer apps, that are Mac only - but I would assume it is mainly a designer thing to have Macs - they have been succesfully marketed (and to some excent were designed) for creative folks.
- open-source-ux 5y agoIt's ironic that Microsoft promote their Surface Book models with pen pressure screens as ideal for all artists and designers. Except for their own designers who appear to prefer Macs.
