Do you know where he works or something?
I've worked for a startup and a couple of multi-national corporations (one fortune 500) in the last decade. I and most of my colleagues have used a Mac (not in graphic design or any other stereotype field). At each place, the Windows PC users definitely lost more time to and complained more about their IT experiences. But Microsoft services were not completely absent, so that is something yet pretty well split amount other providers.
I can't tell if you are pro the rollout of the anti-CSAM for iCloud Photos content or if this is potentially poorly worded.
MSFT & Apple aren't really competitors. MSFT's biggest business is cloud computing & Azure which competes with AWS services. MSFT is business & gov focussed and Apple is consumer focussed. The MSFT Surface line is nothing in the grander scale of the overall business. (I was a MSFT employee until a few months ago.) MSFT is also much more diversified for income streams.
Sorry, I bought a Windows PC two months ago after being an Apple user since 1987. I feel this may be my fault.
Sometimes I have a feel I'm on the forum for underage football fans.
Apple vs Microsoft, Google vs Apple, Star Wars vs Star Trek, DC vs Marvel! When will these perpetual wars ever end? The casualties are too high!
I could understand not knowing about Azure, but you've really never heard of Xbox?
Thank goodness there are smart people like you out there. I fear for humanity how they speculate with no actual idea.
Well agreed.. There is always testing a security prep work that goes into larger companies. SAP is huge.
I actually just upgraded to Windows 11. I didn't think I'd appreciate it that much but I'm quite loving it.
I love Surface. Makes me sad that Apple isn't competing in this form factor by allowing full MacOS on the iPad pro. I mean that M1 chip is just begging to be used to run full desktop applications in a Microsoft Surface form factor. I so want that.
Apple has that luxury and most certainly uses it.
All of prices for Apple products outside the USA have part of the margin that specifically exists to cover exchange rate fluctuation. If that margin gets too thin, Apple will correct it. Usually on the next model but sometimes on the same model as a price change.
I do like the new Microsoft. Ever since they removed the founders from day to day management and reexamined Microsoft's place in the tech landscape, they've been making much better decisions.
I bought MSFT the day Balmer announced his retirement, and boy was that a good call.

I'm not going to explain the vast complexity and nuance of the things you reduce down to simple talking points.

Even if (like me) you don’t buy MSFT products any more, you really have to be impressed with what the company has done since the clown show days of Steve Balmer. Honestly, a lot of their consumer products are really beautiful, well designed and with tight integration. Not to mention the massive operations they have around Enterprise level products.
