The Mac vs. Windows paradox for Microsoft IT Pros
I’ve “known” this fun paradox for what seems like forever, but I’ve never visualized it. Here’s the dilemma that I guess all IT Pros working on the Microsoft stack face:
If you’re using a MacBook and an iPhone, it’s a no—” it just doesn’t work,” the Microsoft IT Pro will say.
If you’re using a Windows device and an Android phone, it’s also a no—” it’s not secure,” the Microsoft IT Pro will say.
If you’re using a MacBook and an Android phone, it works - “the best of both worlds!”
If you’re using a Windows device and an iPhone, it works - “the best of both worlds!”
For the record, I’m a mix between Windows + Android and MacOS + Android myself 😃 Never would I be able to get by with an iPhone.
