You simply refuse to understand the main point.

Macs are incompatible with industry standards and if you need to use these standards to do your job you will have pains with Mac. And nobody at AAPL gives a crap.

Now we can disagree whose fault that is but it is a fact of life.

Do you disagree? Are you saying that Macs gracefully comport with all industry de facto standards? Or are you saying people should not care that they cannot do their job?

I think you have no practical business experience. Typical, answer from an IT guy.

"I think you have no practical business experience."

You have zero information about who I am or what I do. Is this how you make your investment decisions?

False. Macs are incompatible with proprietary Microsoft standards. That is by Microsoft's design.

And nobody at AAPL gives a crap.

I'll warily take your word for that, but there's not a lot Apple can do if developers use someone else's proprietary technology. If Apple tried to come up with some way to run ActiveX controls natively in MacOS, they'd be set upon by Microsoft's lawyers before you could say "Bill vs. Steve in a steel cage death match."
