In my whole career i only had one company that provided windows machines and as expected it was a horrible place to work at. Current client wants to do the same. Coincidentally the place is becoming less desirable to work with.


Outside of silicon valley, the business world runs on Windows, no matter how cheap or expensive the machines are.

Being inflexible can certainly be a red flag though.


Ironically, in the fabs making chips for the silicon valley, (almost) everything runs embedded Windows.


My clients are all based in the uk and nearly all run on macos, except those at the bottom.


But the problem isn't Windows or MacOS. It's all the corporate spyware, antivirus, network interception and whatever else they come up with making the machines work like its 1995.


That is spot on and indeed a red flag. Imagine hiring people and the spying on them.
