sure if you're talking about huge corps like IBM e.t.c., of course
they hire designers to do the job. I'm talking about the daily stuff,

doctor.

maybe so, maybe not. I use both platforms and i like both, and hate
both at times.

mostly i work in windows, however, occassionally i run into a vendor
that is obviously Mac-centric, and giving them a PC windows file to
convert, will cause problems. then i use the Mac. theres more of these
vendors around than you might realize. True, you can furnish them say,
an Illustrator file with all the fonts outlined and you should be
good, or, furnish them a hi rez pdf. But that isnt always the case.
