Just wanted to ask does Azure team in Microsoft uses Mac or windows. If they use Windows is it because of norm or by choice. I know Mac vs pc no one is better overall. But for operations and ease of use Mac seems betters. My personal 2 cent.
Depends on the role
Windows, predominantly. The new WSL versions kind of eliminate Mac’s dev-environment advantages, and when it comes to the intranet you will cry every day without windows. Everything just assumes it. In a at event, you usually don’t have a choice, not in the groups I know about. It’s Windows unless you have a legit business reason.
WSL sucks and I’ve never had issues with Mac on the intranet.
Thank you for info.
You will be given a Windows PC, and unfortunately, you have no choice. Some people have managed to get Macs by convincing the right people they need it for cross-platform testing. Others buy them outright with their own money. I recommend negotiating the sign-on bonus with the intent of allocating some of it to buy a Mac.
You’ll also probably want to buy your own keyboard, mouse, and monitors too. Everything they issue sucks.
If you think so, come to other companies buddy. You'll realize
Yes given option I will get a Mac.
