I remember the days when our documentation department said they could only use Apple to do page layouts. They were on a separate network that couldn’t talk to any other machine.
All the designers had to have both a Apple computer and a Microsoft computer to get their job done.
At the time, the interface was to print from the Apple Computer then scan it into a Microsoft Computer.
There was a way to network interface but the files were unreadable from the Microsoft Computers and the interface was like trying to use a 14k modem.
Apple’s branding is incredible, they have the best brand marketing in the world in my opinion.
You could slap the Apple logo on a Chevy Cruz and get 10x the sales.
Apple made their bed back in the day when IBM was working to get PC's talking to IBM mainframes and other enterprise networks, and Jobs declared that any such integration would be considered heresy in the Apple ecosystem.
The whole premise of this article is laughable...
I’m a Apple lover but I tried windows 10 and like it and if Apple doesn’t make their software compatible windows I am going to trade my iPhone in for an android.
It’s nonsense. Let’s not even go into the fact that android users migrate to iPhones by far greater numbers than the reverse... Just look at Samsung... Once iPhone got a bigger screen they were done in the high end.
You didn't describe a problem with Apple, dila, you just described a totally inept or deliberately corrupt, and obstructive IT department. I vote for the latter, given my experience with the snobbish anti-Apple bias of the IT departments toward non-Microsoft gear. I had no problems integrating Macs into Microsoft network environments without jumping through the ridiculous hoops these bozos required which deliberately degraded the output of your documentation department.
