A study showed in large companies it cost over $1000 more per year per computer to maintain windows which we definitely confirmed in our IT staffing. My 8-10,000 hours working in windows was more effort than my 35-40,000 on Mac and I'm literally a computer genius (add opposed to the blue shirts).
I will probably get INPA etc running in a virtual environment on my Mac some day as I would like to access the couple things I can't with a foxwell like correct the non temp gauge and turn off the idiot alert that blocks the back up camera on wife's e70 every single start.
FWIW not a "fanboy". (apple) can suck donkey dick they are as evil as evil comes, they just make superior operating systems.

I will note that I ultimately found that it was easier and cheaper to keep a couple of ancient thinkpads around for this. And that was before I moved to an ARM MBP. Otherwise, I'm having to keep a VMWare or Parallels or whatever machine up to date. Because the Thinkpads don't need an internet connection, they never need to be updated or messed with. I just use them and put them away.
I keep one ThinkPad T30 with a GT1/DIS setup (running UNIX). And a ThinkPad W530 with Win10 for ISTA/MSSFlasher/TunerPro/Etc.
Edit: Otherwise, I keep a 27" iMac in the garage, a 27" iMac in the shop, and live on a 16" MBP.
