I used to work in IT. We had a sales guy, English, real Delboy type. He demanded we buy him a MacBook Air so he could look cool when he got it out at client meetings. However because he didn’t know the first thing about macOS, he made us wipe it and install windows XP on it.
It sent shivers down my spine every time he turned it on and the chimes started…
I used to work in a school where the English head was a total Mac fanboy and kept trying to get us to buy him one. Eventually he just used his budget to buy one himself (the budget that was supposed to be used to buy the kids useless stuff likes books and learning material). It just sat in their staff room completely useless and gathering dust because it wasn’t compatible with all the systems that we were using to manage the network (as he’d been warned). Two years after buying it somebody went in there and installed Windows XP on it (this was a while ago) and finally it started getting used as much as the other cheap PCs that were a fraction of the price.
