- danso 11y agoI'm hoping that was deliberate phrasing...because it would reflect the (correct, IMO) opinion that Apple's office suite isn't a replacement for MS Office, and that that opinion is agreed upon internally. That said, it'd be fun to hear from a Apple employee...do they frequently use iWork for intraoffice documents?
- sbuccini 11y agoiWork is strongly encouraged, but they'll equip you with Microsoft Office if it's essential for your job. At least in my department, there was one piece of software you could never use: Powerpoint. You MUST use Keynote for any internal presentation. If you even say the word "Powerpoint" around the wrong person, you'll get some nasty looks.
- X-Istence 11y agoKeynote has always worked much better for me, and has allowed me to make professional looking presentations fasters.
- seiji 11y agoYou compare current features against previous features, not globally available features. Many software platforms still aren't as good as Hypercard or even a damn Amiga from the 80s, but we pretend to have continual "advancements" anyway.
- cryoshon 11y agoThis is my thought as well-- but the iPad isn't for us, it's for grandmas and quasi-luddites. The marketing and feature set reflects this.
- agumonkey 11y agoI just watched a Computer Chronicles episode about Windows 3.0 introduction and it was .. the same (Windows allowed you to have multiple programs right). Every decade platform change introduce a regression cycle and then you have talks about how you can do all the same things but on new infrastructure.

- 72deluxe 11y agoOdd isn't it? In the June (?) keynote and El Capitan preview they highlight snapping windows side by side in full-screen mode as a wonderful new feature. Considering that non-fullscreen mode allows you to do this and fullscreen mode basically removes your ability to do proper window management, this seems odd to me. It seems they are reinventing all the window management features INSIDE fullscreen mode and calling them new features.... they could just remove window decorations like running X with no WM and call it a wonderful new "less distraction" mode? I never use fullscreen mode - why would I with two screens or if I am writing code with documentation next to it? Videos perhaps.
