You wouldn't want to work where I do then. When Sierra came out, we were given 90 days to upgrade. When Office patches come out, we usually get 1-2 weeks. With Windows 10, we were given longer, but we have to upgrade by the end of this year.
You wouldn't want to work for Cisco, either. Every one of their presenters is using a MBP. Hands-on labs are mostly using them as well, with a few labs using NUCs instead.
I assume you run no bespoke software like large companies do? Just from a security stand point of view, you are crazy to upgrade to new software with unknown vulnerabilities vrs stable and patched. Same goes for apple software news versions are full of bugs, stick to the last version of the previous version until 3-4 updates into the new version.

You are right, thay would be BS, but it is not the case.
"IBM expects to have more than 100,000 Macs in use by the end of this year, so that’s a pretty significant sample size. The company is rolling out 1,300 Macs a week, and only five IT administrators are supporting all of those computers."
And this was from last year, so if you multiply weeks with 1,300, it should be about at least 120,000 Macs by now, so I was wrong it is 2:1 probably so far, but in only 2 years from almost 0% to more than 30% is huge step. Plus that there is 81,000 iPhones and 48,000 iPads or 217,000 apple devices in total.
Many of my friends are working in corporate IT sector here in Croatia, and are scared of these numbers, support IT stuff reduction, when You present it to them..

What they worried about? From 2015 to 2017 took IBM 2 years to get 100 000 macs to 1/4 of its workforce......IBM cannot even roll out a product to its won company ....great PR spin.
One company has 1/4 of its employees on macs in a very very slow rollout.... your mates are safe . Next they will believe the iPad pros will replace thier jobs....nah more markerting BS
