Ok, I will take that bet against you. If you think it true, then you are living in a bubble. Probably 90% use MS Windows with no choice, because they work in a big enterprise that uses MS Office and Exchange/Outlook. For enterprise email, is there any competition at this point? I don't know any.

- throwaway2037 3y agoIn that case, I would take your side of the bet! US startup devs appears (from HN) to have pretty liberal hardware policies. If choosing a laptop, many will choose the best hardware, which is currently a MacBook.
- Atotalnoob 3y agoStartups don’t employ the majority of engineers. Windows would still dominate. Edit: I can’t read. Disregard.
- yazzku 3y agoYou are very much living in a bubble. Real developers don't use macs.
