Plenty of companies have a mix of Mac and Windows.
The last company I worked for had a mix of Windows & Mac devices, and everyone got the office suite on it (including Outlook).
Additionally, my current company is a small business that runs on Windows computers and the office suite, however I have installed Outlook on my personal Mac as a single licenced user can install it on 5 devices, and use it for answering work emails from home (I've also got it on my iPad and phone - it works great).
- grey-area 6y agoThere are a lot of alternatives to the MS Outlook binary though in a mixed environment, as your use of iPad and iPhone shows, and most mac users will be using those as opposed to the actual outlook app. There is a web version (increasingly popular amongst corporate users), and mail.app supports outlook accounts as does the ios version of mail.app. Perhaps some users prefer outlook.app on their mac, which is fine, and I'm sure it'll come with time, but it's hardly a deal breaker for most people who have chosen MacOS, and none of those alternatives require the outlook app itself from MS which is what this article is talking about.
- Closi 6y ago> most mac users will be using those as opposed to the actual outlook app I would assume most mac users will be using those as well as the actual outlook app. Mail.app can handle basic email, but do not cover Outlook's other capabilities (which include corporate address books and diary management). The web version is good-enough for most people, but not for power users. Will it be a deal breaker? Probably for some users, but probably not for most, but it's not an uncommon application.
