  >due to the high percentage of Macs being used by devs compared to Windows Depends where. Where I live, most IT and development jobs are on windows and globally speaking the picture seems to be the same. Mac dominating SW development work seems mostly a SV/US thing.

    I was implying more that among Mac users, the percentage of devs is significantly higher than among Windows users. I'd assume the same is true for higher cost PCs vs entry level as well. That aside, Macs are definitely overrepresented outside of SV/US as well, being from EU myself, I don't think I remember a single office I've visited over the last 10 years in a number of countries that didn't look like an Apple store. Granted India/China alone are populous enough to dictate global statistics.

      > I don't think I remember a single office I've visited over the last 10 years in a number of countries that didn't look like an Apple store I guess it depends what type of companies you visit. I'm also from near Germany and zero companies i visited in the last 10 years looked like an Apple store. It was all Windows. If you only go to fancy Berlin/Münch startups I can imagine it's all Apple but that's more of a bubble even nation wide. Statistically Windows still has a majority in most companies.
