[QUOTE="Shadowrider, post: 2809346, member: 3099"] I resisted for several years due to the cost difference alone. Over time Apple has become compatible with MS more and more. Now it's not really an issue at all for the most part. I do have to use MS Office for my business and it's not an option for me as I have to have 100% perfect formatting compatibility with Excel so I'm forced to use MS Office for Mac. But there are options for a lot of people, OpenOffice and here's a middle finger from Apple to MS. Apple's version of Excel is called Numbers. And they charge a whopping $19.99 for it and it's actually free on IOS devices. Last time I looked at a standalone version of Excel is was almost $200. Ha! I know in the CAD/CAM world Windows rules there because the software vendors just don't write and compile for anything but Windows these days. It used to be Unix for the high end stuff which is ironic because OSX is actually Unix. For video/photo editing, Apple is and has been the king for years and years. [/QUOTE]
