Do you judge an interviewee who uses Windows?

I've been a software developer for 12 years, and do 100% of all my work on a MacBook.

I've been interviewing lately on my gaming desktop, because it's hooked up to a ton of monitors, external keyboard, and desk mic. Thinking if I sharescreen and the interviewer sees window as the dev environment, if they look negatively on that. Thoughts?

Mac or Windows for office

People in day long office jobs, how can you work easily on Mac (startup folks specially ) I have been given one at my new job at a startup and it looked pretty jazzy and all on day one. Now when I have to do real work, it sucks.I can't...
