Ok. Easier to build for? In a business environment that's running all Windows servers and workstations? I don't know any small or medium sized businesses that employ iOS devs in-house...

You need Macs to build iOS software. Meanwhile, you can find Visual Studio already being employed in most business IT shops to build custom desktop and web software. I can't remember the last time I saw a job ad for an iOS developer that wasn't for a one-off gig or a mobile apps shop (or a marketing agency).

I've found that most servers in business environments are Linux-based, not Windows-based. It's significantly cheaper to spin up CentOS licenses for cost centers.

Shipments of Windows servers has been dominating for years - http://www.computerworld.com/article/2469469/network-softwar...

Those statistics are old and useless. How many linux servers are "sold" before use?

They're better than bullshit anecdotes.

Business environment is not Windows servers and workstations anymore. It's web apps, services and APIs. If it all Windows & MS stack, you better be worried.

iPad also has the advantage of being sexy these days even to more old fashioned types. See the push to use them in 1:1 programs in high schools, even though the amount of writing/typing involved in most high school classes would seem to recommend something with a good keyboard...
