Lol.

We're also largely a Microsoft shop (Teams, Office, Outlook, Github, etc), but our department uses macOS, mostly because our IT is stubborn about locking down our systems and the easiest way to get an exception is to say we "need" macOS, otherwise we'd probably be on Windows. Honestly, if my company used Windows, I wouldn't be working there, I hate Visual Studio (I use ViM), and my entire workflow just doesn't work on Windows (I use Linux at home). I honestly can't remember the last time I booted Windows.

Maybe there's not much you can do, which sucks. But if your entire team doesn't like Windows 11, perhaps you can look into an exception by saying you need something else. Most Microsoft stuff works fine on macOS, so find some killer feature of macOS that your team totally needs and maybe you can get an exception. That would be a lot easier than convincing them you need to stay on Win10 since WIn10 well stop getting support at some point, so paying for the longer-term support probably isn't worth it for your company.
