Well, you should complain about it to Microsoft, Office is their product isn't it?
Why should I complain to Microsoft? It's Apple users that are the ones misrepresenting what it can do. Microsoft are pretty clear on it's functionality.
how about installing VMWare Fusion
Why wouldn't I just use Windows instead then?
In short, complain lack of support of their sofware to its maker not the platform maker that doesn't help a bit.
No, I'm complaining to the people that lie about it, which happens to be Mac users.
You know, outlook forms don't work on the macOS version, I have spreadsheets that have macros which are unusable on macOS, I have a variety of word documents that don't render properly on macOS's word.
On macOS, I have Microsoft Office for Mac 15.27 (161010). On Windows, I have Office 2016.
All latest and greatest versions downloaded from office.com.
The MacBook Pro is probably better for running macOS on, too.
Honestly, I don't know where people get that from. I find running Windows on my Mac performs better for I/O scheduling, process scheduling and graphics performance. For an operating system that's supposed to "designed" for the hardware, I'm feeling lied to.
Modern X11 and systemd are certainly not very UNIXy either.
Indeed.
Under the hood on a Mac you have a very complete FreeBSD userland and I'll take BSD over GNU any day of the week.
As someonew who owns a Mac, I can confirm these claims are lacking a lot of information.
It can't even fork() without exec() (as in, it crashes the application), nor handle pthread events in the correct order (violates standards and causes application crashes) and SIP breaks stated unix permissions identified on the filesystem and even returns the wrong error. All of these by the way are required by the certification macOS was supposed to be certified for, but it's clear their testing for compliance was insufficient. The most hilarious thing about this is that the POSIX subsystem for Windows, Linux etc. have no problem following.
That's just scratching the surface on macOS's poor unix support which has required a wide variety of special platform dependent changes (more than others) for cross platform Unix software when compiled for macOS for a reason.
You can even switch to using 'init' and the rc.d scripts if you really want to.
I could do that on Windows actually.
Enabling root is also quite easy..
Why does ease of use of enabling the root account even matter?
Performance tuning is also not very hard but also not very necessary in most cases.
Really now? Show me how to performance tune my Macbook Pro mid 2012 15 inch model that contains a traditional 1TB HDD (not SSD) so that a single large block read or write won't block all over I/O operations. Or hell, even any Mac that doesn't use an SSD. I can assure, it is needed and just to note, I can switch I/O scheduler on most Unix systems and Linux for performance (which is usually just a configuration variable in a text file).
In my experience things are much snappier than any out of the box Windows install.
In my experience, Windows is often snappier particularly the moment you start using cross platform 3D software or wanting to have applications that are asynchroniously doing I/O.
And most REAL UNIX environments were proprietary for decades.
Not that macOS's BSD subsystem is proprietary and is beaten by Windows' old POSIX subsystem.
Or you could, you know, consider something other than an apple
I'm platform agnostic, my issue with Apple is that I need macOS for doing development and testing for my macOS versions of software. There isn't any real alternatives beyond using Apple for my purposes to my knowledge? However, I'm willing to hear you out.
It doesn't work in some genres, especially for PvP.
I don't believe you.
Let's take Overwatch, for example. PS4 and XBOX gamers, using a game controller, are at a significant disadvantage as compared to mouse/keyboard.
I play Overwatch on the PS4 with a keyboard and mouse thanks to the XIM4 (I won't play FPSes without keyboard and mouse), the match making system is capable of determining my capability sufficiently well and matches with players who are very similar in capability to me without any issues, the games are often close and I don't feel significantly advantaged, nor disadvantaged (as opposed to the matchmaking of certain other games which are also in the FPS genere).
What do you call a piece of software, outside of your control, that performs actions on your system against your will, operates outside your control, modifies your system without permission, steals data, spews unwanted ads at you, etc?
Games with PC versions still don't support KB&M on consoles.
Final Fantasy XIV on my console does.
The controller users just won't have it.
I have a XIM4 for those games. It's more important to have games that have proper match making than care about what controller they're using in my opinion.
Because it's been tried and PC gamers had a serious edge over console gamers. Think about it -- crappy console joysticks and various size TVs vs keyboards with lots of buttons, options, macros, and a mouse with multiple buttons -- not to mention the possible screen setups like multi-monitors.
I have a XIM4 and play Destiny, Star Wars: Battlefront, Titanfall, Overwatch etc. with a keyboard and mouse on my PS4. Some of these games are smart enough to rank your performance sufficiently (In this case, Overwatch and Titanfall) to put you against equally skilled people. As a console gamer, I don't see the problem you're talking about really, outside of games doing poor match making which lead to equally poor experiences on people who are exclusively on controllers too.
Why is it that since lately people who obviously have no clue about agil methods are bashing them on/.?
They've been doing it for years, I find it fascinating how easy it is to rebuff most of the claims. But, I think it shows the industry is just really poor at executing it and end up with Fragile instead.
I don't understand why drivers expect to get all these benefits for working part time
In the UK, companies are required to provide certain things to employees, part time or not. The issue here is the organisation is supposed to be employing these people as employees and not "self employed contractors", likely brought about with the similarity to how these are like zero-hour contracts.
they signed on to work for them
Just like someone employed under a zero-hour contract, however that doesn't mean the company is not responsible for them as an employee still.
they can get another job if they don't like the situation
And they can take the organisation to court if they don't believe it's following proper employment practices.
or they just expect that because it's a big company they should get more?
Small companies don't really make their employees declare that they're self employed contractors.
I think this is more political, and the lobbyists are not getting their kickbacks like they do from local taxi companies.
"Kickbacks" are illegal for politicans in the UK thanks to the Bribery act. If you have evidence of this, I would suggest you publish it so the British government and public can address it.
Google "WM8880 netbook" or "WM8650 netbook", you'll find a really cheap Arm based netbook for that price, running varied OSes including Android, Windows CE and Linux varients.
You can send bitcoin far and fast, relative to an envelope full of cash.
I once went to Western Union (I was in the UK at the time) with cash in an envelope to send money to a friend in need in the US. Didn't have a problem and it was near instant?
SBB is effectively providing a way to swap local currency for a digital version that can be used anywhere around the world, thereby bypassing unfavourable exchange rates
The last time I looked at the costs of converting currency to bitcoin to another currency, it was a lot more than using the local currency exchange services though...

Why not just make Kaspersky automatically reinstall on a windows upgrade? It's not like windows startup entries are removed in an upgrade.

The one I have doesn't have full support for Metal (graphics API), which prevents me from developing much with MSL.
I didn't say I was going to get one today, but as you stated there are alternatives, I just wanted to hear them.

I can authoritively say that millions of other Windows 10 users don't know how to use Windows where this is the case.

I just use one of these for my TeamSpeak push-to-talk key, with a headset that can support two inputs so I can have audio from both my PC running teamspeak and the PS4 for FFXIV.
I use windows 10 and don't have this problem.

I can't find any real sources to support your information.
They didn't really have a choice, there is no GPLv3 Linux kernel and most basic userland for stripped down purposes isn't GPLv3 either.
But they existed and prospered before Cloudflare was even around. So no, it wouldn't be a better place.
As a user, I had no problem delaying the updates in Windows 10.

No idea specifically, I'd check the receipt if I still had it.
But I can tell you the end result was pretty close to Google's currency conversion at the time, just 4 dollars off Google's estimated 385USD.
I have to add, that is significantly less than the cuts taken by typical Bitcoin exchanges to my knowledge.
I have apparently a Bitcoin ATM in my country that I live in, I just have to cross an ocean to get to it...
