So I was a Windows Engineer for 5-8 years, I started as an open/freebsd admin but the "windows guy" quit, it was a blur of posh and batch scripts, usually to fix some printer server bs or wipe out someones torrented videos on a SAN. My point is that I noticed Windows machines when I saw them. I'm 39. I started out working (sysadmin) on Win2000. Back when IIS was so terrible it didn't even have a built in URL-rewrite system, you had to pay some 3rd party like $25 to get an IIS extension for it. I had to write my own brute-force detection scripts because there was definitely no Linux bfd service. People would just HAMMER the RDP ports with bad logins and there was NOTHING to mitigate that built in or third party. Change the port from 3889 or whatever? HA! Your Windows customers will never figure out how to log in. Personally as a kid I started with dos 3.0 and then win3.1 blahblah just to play games and encarta.

I don't feel like almost ANYONE in my life used Windows as a personal PC. Every single friend/partner I can recall had a Macbook of some sort. I was always jealous because I couldn't afford a Macbook I always had some old Thinkpad. The first macbook I ever actually bought was the new M1 max a couple years ago.

I have a Windows 11 desktop with a 4090 rtx in it I use for games once a month. I don't mind or hate Windows. In fact it has the best windows management (pop left/right/up/down) system I've ever used.

I remember everyone going insane for Win 95 but I just don't ever see the actual market now. My last 3-5 jobs everyone but maybe a couple of people in sales had Macbooks..
