What class of software can you run on Windows that you can’t run on Macs because of Apple’s operating system?
Edit: I see downvotes. But no one can answer the question.. .
And this is not strictly MacOS but iOS: When I had an Android phone I could just connect it to a Linux or Window laptop and copy files of and to it, same probably also works on a Mac. Now that I have an iPhone I can't even transfer files between my PC and my phone, unless I install iTunes and/or iCloud or download pictures through the iCloud web-interface.
I thought at this point it was a well known fact that Apple devices work perfectly with each other, but that it gets complicated when you want to use a different OS in combination.
Can list more examples if you want...
I fail to see the issue.
And it still didn’t answer the question about how Macs are more locked down than Windows.
And in the past you could transfer files from your Windows phone to your Linux workstation with zero extra software other than your DE. Ditto BB10.
God forbid you need to get a file to your iPhone from a Linux computer sans net connection.
You likely would have had fewer downvotes if you had just answered in earnest the question asked: "Are you asking a question or being dismissive and flippant?" Then maybe you would have gotten an answer or two.
Instead, choosing to reply with inflammatory language like "you couldn’t truthfully answer the question" seem to indicate you are probably not interested in any ration discussion, but are instead going to dig in and dismiss or attack anyone who disagrees with you. Certainly doesn't make me want to spend any time explaining the bleeding obvious to you, but perhaps someone else will.
Correction: Unwilling. Not unable. This is an important distinction. I'm simply unwilling to engage in a lengthy discussion with you, on any topic really, based on your uncivil behavior here.
> Are you asking a question or being dismissive and flippant? You'd don't really need to think very hard to figure it out now ... do you.
Was the model of civility and “assumed positive intent”
And you still couldn’t answer the question…nor has anyone else including the original poster who went silent…
> Comments should get more thoughtful and substantive, not less, as a topic gets more divisive.
