Windows and Linux at work (Windows for all the “office” stuff like Outlook and as a dumb terminal for Linux boxes for “real” work).

MacOSX and iOS for my personal devices. In the past I’ve switched between Windows/Android and Apple a number of times but have largely stuck with the latter in recent years. It just works better for me. Perhaps ironically while I thoroughly enjoy my job as a software engineer I have little interest in the machines themselves, in particular any sort of customizations.

MacOS and iOS. I do develop embedded Linux applications, but i would never dream of actually using it to get work done.

Mac OS and iOS. The only exception is that I have a Windows machine so I can play Rocket League.

Windows at work. Windows on the home PCs (one laptop, one tower). Android on my phone.

My wife uses Windows at work, but at home, she’s got a MacBook Air, an iPad and an iPhone.
