Nothing could be further from the truth. Fortunately, when Apple's Steve Jobs orchestrated the company's turnaround a few years ago he struck a very lucrative deal with Microsoft. Today, you'll find Macs computing happily alongside other PCs in the office environment. What's more, files written and saved for Microsoft Office for Windows are in the same format as files from Microsoft Office 98 for the Mac. With so many new people considering the purchase of a Mac, I thought it would be wise to clear the air a bit about the platform.
Macs are easier to use.
This is still true despite huge gains made by Windows 95 and 98. The Mac operating system is more closely integrated with Mac hardware. There is no question about this one. Apple Computer makes both the operating system and hardware, providing smoother integration. This one is true.
