I currently support over 1000 Windows machines from XP to Windows 10, including over 50 Macs, over 150 Windows servers from 2003 to 2012R2, at 120 different locations for over 70 clients. That is what I currently support daily. I started off in the Novell world working for one of the first Novell shops in Canada working with the product from it's beginnings up to about 1999. I worked with some of the Linux distros, mainly the fedora core project evaluating that as an alternative to Windows. Finally I have been doing this for over 25 years now and have literally consulted on and dealt with thousands of different environments in all sectors from manufacturing to Healthcare and financial.
My statement to dixontj93060 is 100% factual, not an opinion, simply do a google search and step outside the limited experience you have of supporting 40 machines or a half dozen Macs you owned. I am not discounting or arguing that your experience is what it is, but it is hardly enough to have a complete picture, but you have an opinion and I get it. I am not Mac bashing or favouring the Windows O/S, I am simply stating that they are not as infallible as some of the Mac users believe, and this is systemic in the Mac culture. I should say I am typing this reply on a 2013 MacBook Air which I love and my wife and kids all have Macs as well as other Apple products, oh and I do not like Windows 10 or recommend anyone "upgrades" to it.
One thing people do not take into consideration when comparing Mac to a Windows based machine is that Apple sell a complete solution and Microsoft makes an O/S that is "compatible" with a wide range of hardware. The biggest problem I see is that consumers do not know enough about electronics manufacturing to properly evaluate a deal vs. crap quality, so they put price as the top consideration and buy crap. My guess is that if consumers who purchased Windows computers purchased something in the same price range as the Mac then there would be less problems reported on Windows machines; likely not less than Apple but certainly less.
As someone who regularly audits networks I can also tell you that competence plays a large role in issues. I started off in this industry working in the Enterprise and pubic sector however our focus is the SMB (Small Medium Business) market and sadly this sector is rich with incompetent IT people.
I can tell you from a technicians perspective working on a Mac vs. Widows hardware is a pain, I have an iMac on my bench that likely has a bad HD and if you have every replaced a HD in a Windows machine you know it's 5 maybe 10 min from start to finish, not so on an iMac. So in my opinion serviceability is one of the biggest drawbacks on some Apple products but beyond that in a corporate environment manageability is also an issue.
