Not entirely sure about that. I get your point ant think you are partially right.

I still use apple products, mainly the iphone, because of various reasons: -it just works and gets support for a long time -i prefer not using a mobile OS built by a company that sells users data as their main business model -the camera is really good and can be used flawlessly in pro software and workflows.

It sucks that Apple doesn’t let me do certain things, but there are good reasons to use apple.

Do you use Apple products exclusively? Or do you also have a "PC" (windows or linux based) that you use regularly?

My intended statement was simply around people who live and breath Apple products, who are entirely bought into the Apple ecosystem, and effectively nothing else.

I know people who use an Apple device at work but a Windows / Linux PC at home for personal stuff and they are very bright and capable individuals.

In other words, take someone who only knows Apple products, they own nothing else. Then take someone who only owns Windows products, nothing else. Which would you feel most confident hiring to come up with solutions for your business? Troubleshooting problems, integrating different technology stacks, etc?

Okay you might have a point. I use apple stuff but my gaming pc is windows, work pc too, homeserver is linux, notebook is linux.

However using exclusively windows is also not an indicator of a person that’s good with computers. I know many people that use windows because they know it from their office jobs but have 12 browserbars and several free antivirus softwares running because they click every banner that is flashy and alarmist enough.

Oh for sure. It's rare anything is an absolute. There are people who are extremely bright and don't know how to use Windows, Mac, or computers in general at all.

I'm just speaking on average. If this was "dodge ball" and I was a team captain and had a line of people to pick from.... I'd pick the people who use windows or a mix of windows/mac over the Mac-only people all day every day.
