SAP Communication Centre barely works on a Mac, so I don't believe that.
For me, to think MS is where it is today without a smartphone is more impressive. But I agree with you that they are different business focuses.
MS don't have a smartphone, but have Windows, that's still the most popular desktop OS. And based on what I have seen recently, they have been pushing AI / Copilot very strong with every update. They also have MS Copilot connected to the MS 365 Graph and MS 365 business / enterprise ecosystem, something Apple don't have.
Hmm, Apple must be lying then:
That may be the case in your little corner of the world, but there has definitely an increase of macOS usage in the Enterprise. Maybe it is different in the US.
Right, because Apple doesn't partner with other companies, or buy them outright and use their tech. 🙄
And what's the difference with Apple pushing its services in their products and software? Not a single thing.
I’d say all megacorps exacerbate the problem instead of solving it. Look no further than nestle regarding their water stealing scheme.
Well, they would if Tim Cook would stop being so conservative. An actual competitor to MS Office and an improvement in the mail app would be a good start.
You have to consider that not all enterprises and business have the same needs as Cisco or IBM. Second, MS has an ecosystem and infrastructure that no other company has, and this includes Apple. They have the full stack, from OS, MS Office, identity, databases, messaging / collaboration, EPR's, management tool and everything integrated to their cloud, which now includes AI services. Could it be that CIO's have seen that the MS ecosystem is better than Apple for their enterprise / business, and not necessarily that they are closed to other philosophies?Hmm, Apple must be lying then:

But, if you are open minded, go to YouTube and search for Fletcher Previn and JNUC. He is the former CIO of IBM and current CIO of Cisco. He clearly articulates why he is proponent of macOS at his organizations. Honestly,I wish more CIOs (like mine) were more open to his philosophies. .
It may not be the same people.
It looks like Apple has a lot of things going against it right now.
I'm also European and just on personal experience Apple has gone up but it went from "never seen one" to "look, there's a Mac!".Hmm, Apple must be lying then:

I practically live on Excel and there is nothing like it. It can be replaced but if only your needs are really basic.
Doesn't hold in my bit of Europe, particularly away from the enterprise sector and desktops. It's unusual now to see anything other than a Mac laptop in cafes and iPhones are by far the most common phone you see. (Companies there now seem to issue them too).
It's not a theory. It's a fact. Just look at past MR posts about Apple's market cap/value and the replies and compare them to the replies here.

That isn't quite true. OpenAI certainly expanded Microsoft's reach in AI, but Microsoft were already in that business before acquiring OpenAI. One of the reasons why PowerBI has reached the success that it has is that it introduced AI-based plain-language processing from day one. Charting KPIs became as easy as requesting "give me my top 10 products by sale in the North American region" pretty much overnight.
