departments would think, in a year 80% could. In my view, half of ALL office workers should be using Macs right now.
This means, I’ll give back two laptops and a desktop back to my employer and my employer will be able to save over $400 in monthly software license fees. Neither Parallels or OS X required a reboot.Īs for me, I think I’ll be windows free (except for parallels/windows) by 1/1/15.
The update for Parallels/Windows required over 3 hours and several windows reboots. This update required me to click two buttons and reboot once. In contrast, the Mac is easy to use and does most of the BS needed in the background. Most people I know are forced into running windows, few like it. IF I DIDNT WANT TO RUN IT I WOULDNT HAVE DOWNLOADED IT CLICKED ON IT.ĭrive me crazy Apple is doing the vary things they laughed at MS for just a few years ago
Wasn’t it just a few years ago they made fun of windows for giinv you the pop up notices all the time asking do you want to do this do you want to do that? yet everytime i install anything anymore its this app was downloaded from the internet on such date. Look Apple i have always been able to install whatever i wanted. Having the icons all like iOS 7 is not what i want on my mac.Īlso the last few updates i have to always go int security and turn off the stupid lock that only lets me buy and download apps from the mac app store. Come on apple i don’t want a giant iPhone on my iMac and macbook air. That and some of the changes in yosemite are horrible the cartoon like icons and the odd iTunes 12 interface. If i am paying a premium already for apple i want to be able to install ram as needed not pay apple even more for the ram then i can buy it for after market. If they keep making macs with non user accessible ram and crap like that they are going to lose customers.

“Apple is clearly winning hearts and minds in the consumer markets, which is itself prompting improvement in its position in the enterprise, as its users lobby for the right to use Macs at work as well as at home. This is yet another symptom of Microsoft’s broken business model and the need for that company to migrate to new systems.” The thing is, so much of what the company does is based on the wide deployment of its operating system it will have no choice but to continue to develop it, while making diminishing returns on that investment.
“This means Microsoft will in future be unable to charge for OS upgrades, which will put its entire PC operating system business in peril. “The fact that the majority of these have not yet upgraded indicates either that many of the PCs in the wild are not being used or that Microsoft’s years of being able to charge for software upgrades are numbered,” Evans reports. This at least is the claim coming from Backblaze.” “n that two years, Apple has released three operating system versions, each one widely deployed by the growing-faster-then-the-PC industry congregation of Mac users. “OS X Yosemite achieved the kind of adoption in four days that took Microsoft’s Windows 8 two years to accomplish,” Jonny Evans reports for Computerworld.
