That's why like 80%+(?) of corporate world runs Windows client side for their laptops/workstations. They don't want to have to rewrite their shit whenever the OS vendor pushes an update.

Granted, that's less of an issue now with most new SW being written in JS to run in any browser but old institutions like banks, insurances, industrial, automation, retail chains, etc still run some ancient Java/C#/C++ programs they don't want to, or can't update for reasons but it keeps the lights on.

Which is why I find it adorable when people in this bubble think all those industries will suddenly switch to Macs.

they use Windows because it's ostensibly cheap and there's momentum. I don't think any modern tech company is majority Windows.
