I'm really wondering how many developers are forced using a Mac.

To be honest, i hardly know anyone ( little bit biased because of .net development)

Just an anecdote - in my surroundings (development for Linux server with Java and Python), I usually see around 50 % Mac, 40 % Linux, 10 % Windows.

I was using a Mac when I worked for a Fortune 500 enterprise. The choice was between a top of the line Macbook Pro with sudo rights and some underpowered Thinkpad where I'd have to request software to be installed by someone.

Hardly seems like a fair choice to me :p

Not exactly what i suspected, but in retrospect my comment wasn't clear. I should have mentioned that eg. IOs engineers / Mac developers have no option. Which would be some share of the market.

But your comment was more valuable, thanks!
