Your question could be more easily answered had it not contained
the phrase "productivity and happiness", as if they are somehow
connected to one another in a way that suggests that if you have one,
you'll automatically have the other.
Why do you think managers are there to oppress
their staffs and disempower them?
Isn't that what you often claim IT managers do?
Not even knowing the technical details, do you really think CEOs are
blind to the fact that the most successful businesses also have a high
proportion of Macs?
I'd have to see that with footnotes attached. I can walk into
plenty of successful business in our area who make many mega bucks
primarily doing work for federal or state entities and you won't find
a Mac anywhere...unless it's in an employee's backpack or satchel.
"Google has long had a fondness for the Mac, with upwards of...
20,000
current employees opting to use the Mac over Windows."

I have quite a fondness for my Macs for both pleasure and in my
business use. I just think that most businesses still perceive,
rightly or wrongly, that Windows is the way to go. Often they have
little choice, dependent upon the requirements of their clients in
terms of the OS that their products need to run on.
I think we need another trip to the polygraph here.
You've been watching too much Maury Povich.
