    He’s wrong about several points. He states that Apple dominates the mobile space, but it’s not even close. Android owns almost 71% of the market while Apple has about 29%.

    Windows is definitely positioned to be replaced in the enterprise, but it would much more likely be Linux than MacOS. Many enterprises already run Linux and/or Windows servers and with the only thing keeping most desktops on Windows is Office…which Microsoft has been pushing to the web, although unsuccessfully.

    I have heard about the death of Windows in corporations for 20+ years. Windows 11 is garbage, but I’m not sure it’s enough to get companies to switch.

    MacOS only is used in some Silicon Valley companies, but that’s a bubble. You’d be hard pressed to find it used in the rest of the business world anywhere.

      As a support/sales engineer for the last 20 years, the number of Macs I see both my coworkers and my customers using is huge. And this is across lots of different markets: Aerospace, finance, software, content creation, etc.

      Macs are cheaper on a TCO basis than Windows machines, with IBM finding they save $273 - $543 per Mac they deploy, and they need less than half the number of support people for Macs compared to Windows.

      He’s probably referring to apple dominating the enterprise mobile space in which case you are right it’s not even a competition. Apple completely dominates. The environment I currently manage uses 10 corporate android devices for a very specific function and every other corporate device is iOS. Even BYOD is 90% iPhones…
