Sourcing the right office technology is always a challenge. As a Personal Assistant, you have probably encountered computer viruses that have either wiped out your hard drive, or completely taken control of your web browser. We can all recall a time when a computer application suddenly crashed, resulting in loss of data.
There is a solution to many of these common computer problems: switch to an Apple MacBook Pro computer. Although Apple and Microsoft have always competed for the personal computer marketshare, today things have moved on. Whereas in the past someone with a Windows-based computer would never think of switching to a MacBook Pro, people now switch in droves.
Why the sudden shift? There are a number of factors that have influenced this change. Firstly, the Macintosh operating system has been redesigned from the ground up, and is now a more stable and effective operating system.
With Mac OS X office technology, users have a lot less to worry about: no viruses, no trojans, and no crashes - what more could a user ask for?
Apple delivers more: a seamless integration between hardware and software. When you buy a PC and install Windows, chances are you are installing the operating system on a set of hardware that was never fully tested together. Different combinations of plug and play hardware are what causes Windows to crash time and time again.
On the other hand, with an Apple computer, you get the operating system that was tested with the hardware ahead of time. Do you ever wonder why Apple sells the hardware with the software? It's because it allows the developers to test their software on the different hardware configurations before shipping the product. PC’s come in too many varieties to be tested fully and this is where their weakness lies compared to the Mac.
In addition to this, Apple's office technology delivers all the applications you need to get your work done and have fun doing it. On a Windows machine, you get the basic Microsoft Office suite of applications. Now, you can get the same suite of Microsoft Office applications for your Mac.
Apple also offers applications that are not available on Windows, such as the iLife set of applications. These
programs make life easier by organizing all of your digital photos. They also play your music, let you import home
movies and create DVD’s from your computer.
