Now that I\u2019ve entered the professional world (I was a student back in 2017), I\u2019m SHOCKED at how many Windows features boost my productivity compared to standard macOS.</p>\n<ol>\n<li>\n<p>Alt-Tab Functionality: Apple's decision to switch between applications rather than individual app windows using Command-Tab is puzzling. In my opinion, Windows' Alt-Tab is WAY BETTER. I installed an app called \"Alt-Tab\" to replicate this feature on macOS, but it has occasional bugs and isn't as seamless as Windows' built-in functionality.</p>\n</li>\n<li>\n<p>Window Snapping: This is a HUGE feature that I can't work without. I use an app called Rectangle on macOS, which works almost perfectly. Fortunately, macOS Sequoia is introducing this feature natively (I miss the cat names \ud83e\udd7a).</p>\n</li>\n<li>\n<p>Cutting Files with Ctrl+X: It's baffling that this isn\u2019t a built-in feature on macOS. I installed \"Command X,\" and it works great, but it should be a standard feature.</p>\n</li>\n<li>\n<p>Zooming with the Mouse Scroll Wheel: THIS IS A BIG ONE. On Windows, you can simply hold the Control key and scroll to zoom in and out. On a Mac, I have to use Command +, which disrupts my workflow. I\u2019ve configured my Logitech mouse to enable zoom with a middle click, but it requires moving the entire mouse, which is neither easy nor ergonomic. It feels like this feature is DELIBERATELY MISSING to encourage purchases of Apple's Magic Mouse or Magic Trackpad for pinch-to-zoom functionality.</p>\n</li>\n<li>\n<p>Excel Accelerator Keys: On Windows, holding the Alt key and pressing a combination of letters or numbers allows quick access to any feature in the ribbon, significantly speeding up cell editing. This feature is missing in Excel for macOS, likely by design. I tried a third-party app called Accelerator Keys, but I refuse to pay for a subscription to enhance a feature that\u2019s native on another platform. I\u2019ll probably just map my most-used shortcuts manually. The same issue applies to PowerPoint.</p>\n</li>\n<li>\n<p>Fullscreen Video in Safari: When you go fullscreen with a video in Safari, the entire window moves to a new space, which slows down switching between apps. This is MADDENING during my online classes where I frequently switch to a note-taking app. Firefox fixes this, but I prefer using Safari.</p>\n</li>\n<li>\n<p>External Monitor Support: Windows handles scaling much better than macOS. Many users on YouTube have had to downgrade from 4K displays to 1440p ones because macOS makes non-native resolutions look blurry. I use Better Display Tool to manage this, but Windows still does it better.</p>\n</li>\n</ol>\n<p>Despite these challenges, I still love macOS and the build quality of my new M3 MacBook Air. It\u2019s fascinating to see how different these operating systems are after eight years. While the Mac excels in many areas, Windows has several features that significantly enhance productivity, which I previously took for granted.</p>",

He bought a new microsoft and clicked on a pop up and ended up on the phone with a fake microsoft person.

When I was using Monterey I could find most settings quickly, now finding something in the new Settings app is so time consuming we all keep using the search bar. The app right now is simply unusable. </p>\n<p>Its not just that it has a mobile UI (designed for a finger as an input method and not a mouse) and that its a copy paste from the iPad app, its also that the app has completely irrelevant stuff at the top and important settings at the bottom: who needs Notifications, Screen Time or Accessibility at the top, and TrackPad, Keyboard and Users at the bottom of the list? Someone who uses an iPad, not a Mac. Most settings are buried under menus (just like the Settings app on the iPhone, which worked well in 2010 but not anymore) and we just don't use it. I'm not asking for the System Preferences app from Monterey to come back (I wish it did but Apple never does that kind of stuff) but at least to get a redesign. I simply don't get how this awful design made it to production and how someone actually approved it. </p>\n<p>People say \"oh you'll adapt, people don't like changes\" but I still dislike it as much as the day it was released. Its quite possibly one of the most stupid decisions Apple has taken in recent years (just like redesigning the \"About this Mac\" page that now shows way less information and requires more clicks to see the same information as before)</p>",

For example, I previously bought programs such as Final Cut Pro For those who do the same job, paid or unpaid, 100 dollars a year is a very high wage for me, instead it is 130-140-150 dollars and it has a permanent license, just like the other programs I use. Unfortunately, 100 dollars is the cost of kitchen (food) for a family of 4 people in my country. That's why I can't pay this money for a software that I will use to listen to lectures at regular intervals. I'm open to your advice, thank you in advance for your help. \u263a\ufe0f\ud83d\ude0a</p><div><br></div><img src=\"https://i.redd.it/kqiz13a7m8fc1.jpeg\" />",
