I feel dirty for saying this, but I'm legit happier now I ditched my Macbook, bought a Razerbook and went full windows on both desktop/lappy again.

YOUR MILEAGE AND EXPERIENCE MAY VARY.

For me though, for the stuff I need to do, everything has become so unified and easy again.

Not least the fact that all my high-end peripherals now actually work properly again. And aren't ever-so-slightly gimped in some way as punishment for me not buying Apple brand.

This is it. I need a lot more consistency in my application setup than before. Most of those key apps, because they're streaming/work related, are PC-primary.

I think Apple's absolute recent disdain for gaming/streaming is going to bite them in the arse

Ultimately, that's their choice. They've identified the demographics and markets they want to target and locked them in. I've no doubt they do future-forecasting to shit as well.

But they forget that a lot of their "base" in the tough times was always techies/professionals..

And those same people are the ones who advocate for, and oversee, the general network, infra, cloud and software setup at big firms. Now and in the future

And as homeworking becomes more of a thing, there's a lot more people who are about to find that BYOD is easier with Windows

At least if that's how your corporate setup is optimised.

And the people doing that optimisation NOW, and the kids who will be doing it in future, aren't wannabe instagram influencers eyeing up their next Mac.

They're wannabe game streamers fiddling with their first proper PC.
