I do not know about other fields. In the health professions, most companies use specialised windows software which, in my experience, is not at all accessible. So, I needed to create work-arounds with the clinic where I work. In my case, I prefer using Mac for the reasons I already stated. In fact, most of my work is now done using the iPhone and iPad with braille screen input. This looks most like what everybody knows, so it is not distracting to my clients. After all, as several sighted people have confirmed, everybody randomly touches their smartphones.
