Windoze, Macs, & Linux

Disclosure:  I’m a Mac user…. and biased toward them.

Eeos is right to a certain degree, that ‘business’ machines were predominantly Windows for a long time, but the tide is turning.  I worked in the digital TV conversion process for the last decade.  Early media servers were run by Windows 2000 Server, and that is about the last Windows system I saw coming from manufacturers.  The microsoftware was not reliable enough for high-value broadcast streams.   Many manufacturers went to internal, custom operating systems.  They were all based in Linux.  Suddenly the OS reliability issues went away.

Macs are linux-based now.
