I bet that saves you a boatload in senseless licensing costs and lost time dealing with Microsoft's shenanigans!
Absolutely. Enterprise license and MSDN was expensive and a pain in the ass. Once we dropped support for Microsoft as a whole and transitioned to Google Apps (early adopters) everything became easy. OSX never broke, although the hardware could be problematic at times. The main reason most of us started transitioning to Linux from Mac was Apple's hardware choices. That said, I have a MBP M3 Max for music and graphics and that Apple silicone is absolutely beastly.
Maybe hardware requirements have been met nowadays with even basic hardware (gaming excepted), I have a quad core linux and my SO has an old quad core mac, no real need to upgrade those. My brand new thinkpad for work is running windows, well not actually running, merely walking IMO, everything has to be scanned and uploaded, there are moments the whole PC freezes up for 30-40 seconds to check if you should be able to launch that same app again ...
