Funny, since Apple has been putting less and less emphasis on Mac users, I've been using Office and Windows 10 more and more.
*ducks*
I have to agree with you on this, to a certain extent. I have certainly seen a huge erosion of apples commitment and focus on the pro products and osx, rather to make some FB/icloud Frankenstein cretinous mutant that ios seems to want to evolve into [Sorry Ive]. This is fine for my iphone and ipad, although i loathed the closed format in the early days, however, my tempestuous trials with android and reliance on JB proved less than fruitful and feasible; essentially, I had less time and needed more reliability from them.
I have not used windows at home since OSx Tiger, and very recently, tried windows 10. I got a virus and malware within 5 seconds of connecting to intent and installing chrome. After a while, i actually found win 10 quite a pleasure to use, and installed some legacy games. Just wish i could run win 10 off an external TB2 ssd from my imac.

It's nice to see Microsoft putting more of an emphasis on Mac users, however, since I discovered Evernote and the iWork suite, I almost never use Microsoft products anymore.
[1] Re:
Evernote
I've been an evernote premium user for some time, whilst at first it wowed me, and love how i can search for things, native ocr recognition etc, it has its faults. It works well on mobile devices, however really simple things and piss poor support leaves me wanting to look elsewhere. For example. zooming notes in osx is not easy, people have asked this for over 2 years now. The ability to create stacks is nice, but a dropbox styles file archive with the ability to creat multiple folders within folders would be better too. I understand the ideological difference here, that tags and advanced search protocols will allow Evernote to cultivate and learn to the users needs, but for serious large number of documents, and literally thousands of files, this is actually nowhere near as fast as dropbox. Ideally Evernote with dropbox styled folder archive would be perfect.

What i like about pages, numbers, is simplicity, and now icloud integration. Howver for serious work, and boy have i tried, both ms word and excel runs circles around their apple counterparts, as much as this pains me to say this. Try writing complex 2/300 pages thesis on pages, with graphs, tables, watermark, headers and footers; pages is not bad to take notes and write quick letters or draft emails. As for numbers, the gap with excel is massive, and certainly even the more basic tenets and functionality of excel are missing, for my needs that is. As for powerpoint vs keynote, for my needs, i prefer keynotes, and actually recently started using prezzie. Google docs all have similar flaws.
