Well, we can’t be talking about the new Apple TV, since that remote is BT and you have to specifically pair them.
The older Apple TVs allowed you to lock it to a single Apple remote, so that only that remote could control it.

However, if you’re using a universal remote like a Harmony or something, you’re poo poo out of luck.
MAC OS has some features that Windows does not have (or pales in comparison) that make it a better option for a single user environment – if you actually know you’ll use those features. In any other case there are no significant differences and applications for every major work activity are available for both systems; do consider though that Microsoft is probably developing a better ecosystem and interaction with multiple devices and platforms than Apple is.
