I find it hard to believe that, outside of work computers, many people would be choosing Windows over Mac or Linux, especially is AI is their goal.

I’m also curious why the comments are turned off for this article unless it is a paid ad for Microsoft.

    I’ve never used a Mac but my experience with iPhones and iPads (not mine) has convinced me to never touch anything Apple makes. The requirement of iTunes to send files between an iPhone and a PC is, for example, just ridiculous.

      You can also use Dropbox, Box, OneDrive, iCloud, etc to send files back and forth.

      Just got a Mac last week, and was able to set up file sharing with my PC in less than 5 minutes last night. In fact, it was way easier than getting the sharing working with my Surface, which refuses to acknowledge my desktop’s existence.

      I don’t generally encourage buying a Mac, I’m not at all convinced it’s worth the price premium. I’m only commenting insofar as I have context.

      that hasn’t been the case for years though you do need some apple software to make it work. Or you can use Files and connect to Windows over file sharing (smb).

      They could probably make it easier, but then they’d have a harder time selling you up to a Mac.

      Apple IIgs was alright. That thing and Oregon Trail is embedded into the culture of every American 80s/90s kid. Jobs era I was a lot different than Jobs era II.
