My office is a mixed Mac/Windows environment.

We have iPads for taking payments. We use iPhones to photograph embroidery sew outs to send to customers. Our workstations are iMacs, Mac Minis and Mac Pros. They all run VMWare Fusion/Windows 7 so that they can run QuickBooks. Everything else is done under OS X.

We have a Wndows PC acting as our QuickBooks server and one to run our garment printer.

Guess where we have over 90% of our issues...yep, the Windows stuff.

Seems the Macs play perfectly well in the Window’s sandbox, but not the other way around. The Windows boxes also have many more updates which cause issues with production.

The thought of a Windows tablet just fills me with dread....

Who made that physical PC? Bet you it wasn’t Microsoft.

My experience with the Surface, which, hardware-wise, is actually made by Microsoft, is at the Apple level.

Dell, HP, Lenovo, whatever, all fall short.
