That’s still extremely rare. Personal laptops are always up to personal preferences, but most organizations run on windows. At my employer, a university enrolling 50,000, everything is windows. If you wanted to request a new computer through the school to have access to shared directories, you can pick a dell desktop or one of two HP laptops. Macs are rare, and they are bought and forgot by IT. I’ve seen iMacs running leopard still; and they are all off of the intranet.
For my friends who do get macs from their workplace, it’s because they are 1 of just 20 employees and they don’t have anyone in IT, let alone a department or any policies.

One difference might be that almost nobody has a desktop computer. The vast majority of people use a laptop. But they are free to select from a menu of about 20 different laptops including Mac Book Airs and Mac Book Pros. Almost everyone also has a company supplied phone. Again, they have the a selection of about 20 phones to select from, including Android and iPhones. So the environment here is very heterogeneous.
I work for a Fortune 100 company (not in SV, or even California) with 70,000 employees. At least 50% (it's probably higher) of computers here are Macs. When I go to a meeting, the table is a sea of Mac laptops with the occasional Windows laptop here and there. And these aren't meetings with developers, I'm talking about sales, business, training, etc. people.
