It's OSX-only, which makes it a non-starter for most orgs. We actually are 100% macbook, but we still use Google Docs since some people want to edit documents from their phone.
- LeoPanthera 4y agoThat's reasonable, but if the question is "why doesn't this exist" then the answer is "it does". (For what it's worth, it's also available on any platform via the web app versions of iWork at icloud.com. I'm not saying this is necessarily practical, but, it's there.)
- mikro2nd 4y agoI think the point is that if this only exists in Apple World, then really it exists as a little, isolated island, and the entire point of having "anyone with a computer" able to play is lost.
- criddell 4y agoNothing will ever be "anyone with a computer". It really all hinges on how you want to define "computer". There are some prerequisites like you need a network connection and display and input device(s). You also need some client software. In this case, the client consisting of a particular software stack doesn't seem that unreasonable. If I can't play with you using the computer in my laser printer it doesn't mean the vision of collaborative computing still isn't here.
- freeone3000 4y agoI think, for a desktop work environment, people would be happy if it worked, given a standard keyboard, mouse, and display, on iOS, Android, Windows, and OSX, with Linux support a bonus. MS Office supports this, as does Google Docs, and apparently, so does iWork!
