The person you responded to used a subset. Important to pay attention to those kinds of things.
Among "users of BOTH Mac & Win" - meaning, people who use both, not people who use one, plus people who use the other instead. People who are dual-OS users. Folks who might use apple at home, but windows at work. Of THAT subset of people, he claims that studies state that THOSE people prefer their Mac experience to their Windows experience.
I don't know which studies he refers to but let's pretend it's true.
I'll tell you what is also probably true: most people who use both in their lives, use Mac at home, and Windows at work. Not the other way around, because Windows is the default business operating system among the two (Linux/Unix is also a default business OS but it's not being considered in this comparison).
Who enjoys computers more? People in their work place, or people in the comfort of their own home? People doing data entry on spreadsheets at work, or people paying games on Twitch at home? Of course they're enjoying their Mac more, they get to use it for what they WANT to use it for, as opposed to what they're stuck getting paid to use it for.
I'd suggest that if their job required them to work on a Mac at their desk, and they had a windows machine at their house, they'd probably prefer the Windows OS.
I've worked on both, I hated the Mac. It was a very old version by today's standards but somewhat new when I was using it. In fact it was my introduction to personal computers. My previous experience was with Unix and Wang. Once I learned DOS, I was hooked and knew I'd never buy an Apple product again.
