I was part of a 4 person IT team managing the company's Linux servers and infrastructure. I was given a Windows 8 laptop from CostCo. The other admins had Windows laptops but EVERYONE else had Mac laptops. I was the only Mac-centric admin so the engineers came to me for help but mostly I kept their servers running using MobaTek's terminal app. I used the browser and mail client on the laptop but that's was the extent of my win8 usage. Which I could have run the configuration management tool we ran (puppet). Jenkins and git were running on the Linux boxes. I had to fix the CEO's admin's PC 4 times to remove malware but the engineers and their macs were problem free except for bad keyboards which Apple fixed.
