jetpks548ySounds like every edu environment I've ever seen. The graphic design students probably get to reboot into OS X. Obviously Photoshop can't be run on Windows 😂

SirPally3698yI dont have interest with Macs, the problem most pros use em I don't know is it a matter of status or performance

Sounds like a professor who doesn't know anything but Win32. Just wait until they try to teach you systems programming in Windows...
As for all the status/performance stuff...I think Macs look great, and I love OS X. I am still using a powerful MacBook Pro that I bought 6 years ago, and it runs incredible still.
And believe it or not, a comparable non-Apple machine is going to set you back about the same amount of cash, but only last half as long. -
jetpks548yI don't think it has anything to do with status. Some people just like OS X. I like it even though my main machine is Linux.

We use Visual Studio Code a lot so I think that may be part of the reason. My teacher actually prefers OS x. @Treebasher

In my computer programming class we have these nice brand new iMacs. For some reason we end up using Windows 7 on them anyways...
