A vast majority of companies use Windows as OS, cause the computers are cheaper, and most people are used to it. Why would windows be not used by developers? The .net environment is _really_ good these days, and Visual Studio is a top notch IDE. Even within SV, lots of companies are running Windows desktops. I actually find it surprising that Linux and MacOs are so well represented.

Visual Studio Professional is more expensive than Jetbrains Rider which was surprising for me to learn.
