Indeed. And there's another side that we used to discuss - many folks have negative associations with the gear they use at work because of the way they're managed by IT orgs. Compare a Windows box with a heavy-handed AV setup etc with the same tier of hardware with a stock OS install - the stock version is often a lot more responsive/usable. (And obviously the IT dept may have its reasons for locking down, but that's besides the point.)
Due to near-dominance of iPhone/iPads, Apple doesn't have a problem getting mindshare these days, so brand familiarity (which could be an offsetting benefit of a stronger enterprise presence) is not much of a problem.
- massysett 4y agoI’m not so sure about this, my Windows at home is a stock one and it randomly inserts junk into my Start menu and comes with crapware. The one I use at work has full-time admins to protect me from this garbage. I bought the Windows box to do only one thing (be essentially a dumb terminal to connect to work) but even using Windows for a task this small is such a bad experience that if I had it to do over I would just spend the extra money and get a Mac Mini.
