lesser of two evils

post Category: sound off post postMay 23, 2008

I know that I am going to catch a lot of flack for this one from the cult of Mac nerds, but here goes…

I have switched back to my PC.  At least where business and work are concerned.  Which basically accounts for 95% of the time that I spend on computers.

Here are my reasons why.

Entourage is an unusable piece of garbage.  And since I am using Entourage most of the time that I am at work, it made no sense to continue torturing myself with it anymore.

Other than that there are many things that I love about the Mac.  The application install / uninstall is amazing.  The graphics are brilliant.  The hardware itself is stunning.  The OS simple to understand.

But when it comes to using it for business applications, I never thought i’d be saying this…but I actually missed Outlook.  (puke)  That tells you just how horrible Entourage really is.

I’ll still be using the Mac for personal reasons and I will continue to endorse it to anyone but business users.

/end of confession

The 2004 version of Entourage is actually way better than the previous one. So depending on which one you used you might be either happy to get out of it alive or have a reason to give mac another chance.

Stephanie, I totally agree with u. I have a kind of same situation. I was using win from the beginning (win95, Nt) and i was convinced now to buy a mac 2months ago. what can is say.. the HW is brillant and every works fine but when it comes to professional use or as u said for emailing and stuff i rather use my PC because of Outlook. Another piont is, i usaually hate proprietary systems.. steve wanna make u use only his products and apple is continueing there where bill ended. this sucks a lot. its a pain in the ass to sync my HTC wth the mac and so on. also putting music to other devices than to ipods is a everytime a challange..Kosta from Hamburg.
