I just asked her. She said there is no way she would want to interrupt her workflow every few minutes going back to a mouse, simply to compensate for a poor user interface design.
She doesn't need to interrupt her workflow with her iPad Pro and Pencil (she can draw for an hour before taking a break - in order to get out of her chair for a few minutes), why would she tolerate such a poor situation with a touch-enabled laptop? Nobody would. That's crazy.
That's what's great about Apple. They think ahead, making dozens of engineering prototypes, trying out many ideas with real people and professionals (in the case of graphic artists) and find out where the problems and gotchas are. Before releasing a product that in the end works poorly and making they're customers unhappy.
how come Windows is always falunting off things that are bound to come on the Mac.... like just around the corner.
with this series they do however subtle imply how buggy it is

Bluescreens are caused by legacy drivers to support all the old hardware, Malware and virus are built for the most popular platform in the real world, hence why there is so much on Windows, Windows runs the world, show me a factory/bank/financial institute or manufacturing plant that uses Macs run everything
Interesting. I use my personal Mac for presentations at work in keynote because PowerPoint is still catching up with regards to features I like /need.
That has not been my experience with the Windows 10 UI.
I could imagine that happens if you use crappy old non-Microsoft software in Windows 10, but all I've seen so far are UIs that work well both with mouse and touch.
The only problem I have is, as I said, a mix of a touch screen laptop with 2 non-touch external displays.
This is the same company the created a commercial in which Dean Cain slips in vomit. I don't think he worked for 7 years after that move.
Re-read my response in post #177. Nowhere did I suggest that. In fact, quite the opposite.
You talked about my wife's workflow as a graphic artist. I responded to your question.
To respond with such a snide/snarky comeback speaks to both your being out of gas for further substantive discussion, and to your immature level of juvenile civil discourse.

The only way I'd get Windows 10 was if it came with it, which was the case with my laptop. I wouldn't upgrade to Windows 10, unless you're currently on win8. For most people, win10 even with issues was an improvement over win8.
My PC is holding on to win7 until it goes.

Other than the touch screen and facial recognition log in (which "bugs" me) Win 10 PCs don't do more than Macs. Macs perform the same tasks differently. To imply that you can't search a Mac because it has no voice assistant is false. You can also run a drawing tool off the track pad. And how does "Show me photos of (whatever)" work? How do you have to flag your archive of 10,000 photos to find what you want by voice?
Details, details, details.
In regards to the ad, the women in them seem to be in their 20's but MS calls them "chicks". Isn't that a bit derogatory of women these days? "Chicks" was a 60's-70's term or earlier.

I use Cortana constantly. And always with a keyboard.
Some people like to launch apps by clicking on an icon they've placed somewhere. I prefer a more sparse desktop, and I don't like to keep track of shortcuts, so I prefer to type a fragment of the name of the app or file I want at Cortana.
I get the idea, sometimes, that people think Cortana is all about speech recognition or that it's just a differently branded Siri. It's more like Siri+Finder+Spotlight.
It's a very slightly different way to interact with your desktop. And if you don't like it, just turn it off.

sorry i suppose, you started with all the bold emphasis, which was highlighting only your anecdotal evidence - which seems to build your opinion that since your wife's workflow would suffer, 'why would apple pursue these endeavors?' and tired arms? i just don't think you've thought this through with an open mind, open to other people's workflows. you even use the words 'everybody/nobody' and 'crazy' to think a certain way. that's not opening any kind of discussion up.
Am I the only one that is immediately put off a product as soon as they start slating the competition to advertise?
Are you sure about that? It may be useful for conceptualizing on the go but for the heavy lifting, you need a desktop or high powered workstation at an in-house agency.
Cintiqs are already out there in use at professional work places and studio houses. Hell, even the freelance creatives have them in their home offices.
Apple conforms to the mainstream consumer. They screwed up in ignoring the creative market until now. The Pencil is nice but stupidly expensive when it doesn't have a digital eraser. WTF? What the hell were they thinking? It's one reason why I like using the Wacom stylus for my work due to the flexibility it has and I can intuitively erase by flipping it over like a REAL pencil.
Using the iCloud for professional work isn't always a good idea. I would never do that and rely on Dropbox since it's more customizable and I can encrypt folders only for clients to access and look at. It's far better than using iCloud as a workflow. I can even see it on my iPhone app and manually control the files. You can't do that entirely on iCloud.
my mac has crashed, there are mac malware and notification centre is pretty annoying.
theyre all one and the same nowadays
I recently upgraded my gaming PC to Win10 from Win7 and there is absolutely no way that I would use the buggy mess that is Win10 for anything important. Win7 was wonderfully stable for me, but I haven't had to hit the reset button on the front of my PC case this often since Windows Me.
I love the window management in Win 10. Love. it.
And of course, not having to beg 3d plugin developers for a mac version helps, too.

I am honestly intrigued by it, it never happened to me (I am being honest and no sarcasm / hat or love for any platform).
Are we still between apologist ,fanboys and such? I mean can anyone like a thing different from you and not be called names?
Isn't it times we grow up???????
I use both and like both and i can assure you no platform is perfect, some stuff are better done on Mac others on Windows.
