 PF> I've had a couple of people ask why they can't use Macs at work.  :)

I've seen some developers say they think Macs are the best computers for software development, as they have a lot of *nix-like stuff pre-installed that are useful for software development.  I have noticed that a lot of web developers seem to like Macs, though I don't really get the correlation there. In my 21 years of experience as a software developer though, most of the places I've worked at have tended to use Windows computers, with a few exceptions - The first developer job I had was at a small startup using Linux, and a couple places where most of the developers preferred Mac (and again, I'm not entirely sure what made so many people at one place prefer Mac).

I'm working at a place now that issues Windows laptops to its workers, and one person I work with (who started just before me) is a Mac guy and often complains about Windows being hard to work with, generally a bad OS, etc.. Interestingly, I haven't really had any big issues with Windows for a long time.
