Hmm. See, I like OSX. A lot, actually. But again, it comes down to what you use it for. When I was in grad school I would have NEVER used a Mac, simply because proprietary software like SPSS is expensive enough when you're just buying it for Windows use. That shit gets unreal when you need to duplicate that kind of stuff onto a Mac. I think it's probably gotten easier over time, with the advent of apps and whatnot, but when I was in school that shit wasn't around. I never would have tried to use a Mac for scientific research in those days.
Now I work in conpletely different field, and my primary focus is on design, media, simple writing and photo processing, and Apple has worked hard to build a kickass professional platform. These days, Apple Mail is a better option for office comms than the once mighty Outlook (which is basically dead, having transformed into a .com and all service, with outmoded business versions that companies the world over are dropping for Gmail Business), and Adobe works so goddamn beautifully on OSX that full InDesign and Photoshop have the functionality of factory installed extensions. On Windows, they're always so goddamn problematic.
Granted, my experience with Windows post 8.1 is pretty minimal. I have used a (godawful) HP with Windowss 10 in the past year, and while I like certain elements of the user experience, it's still a long way from being a truly practical and user friendly system like iOS and OS X.
But hey, it's whatever... right?
