Competition only got stronger in the 2000s, with the birth of the “Get a Mac” campaign by Apple and the “I’m a PC” response ad by Windows. In 2020, both platforms continue to thrive, despite an early dominance by Windows in the 1990s and the near-death of Apple before the turn of the century. One of the earliest ongoing examples of the platform wars in technology is the original fanboy argument: PC or Mac? It’s a question that has plagued PC users for over thirty years, since Macintosh and Windows were launched by Apple and Microsoft, respectively, in the mid-1980s. Not to be outdone, Google’s own software features its fair share of ecosystem lock-in, using systems like Google Drive and Gmail to make sure that users are constantly within the realm of Google’s reach, while simultaneously leveraging their hardware division to build phones, smart speakers, and more that take advantage of sticking inside a single platform. Apple has built an incredible example in all of this, bonding the Mac and iPhone together is a way where some people refuse to switch to another platform just because of the ability to send messages from their Mac. In 2020, almost every device in our possession has some sort of ecosystem lock-in, creating a world where it’s best to stick with a single platform over spreading yourself out. If there will still be differences then I'll skip the $35 and just keep going to the computer lab to tweak things.Mac vs. If I install that, and use Word to create these documents, will they appear the same when my professor opens them using Word, on her Windows computer? I can buy the MS Office suite for Mac at school using my student discount (it's around $35 I think). It seems fine when I save it in Open Office, and it's fine when I then open that document using Open Office, but if the document is opened with MS Word, the formatting is horrible. docx), and for plain text formatting that's fine, but as soon as an outline or numbered list is created, things look crazy. I can save an Open Office document as a Word file (.doc or. The problem is that I have a professor who needs some documents turned in via e-mail, and they use MS Word. When I need to turn something in, I just save it in PDF format, e-mail it to myself, then go to a computer lab, check my e-mail, and print off the PDF document. I love Open Office (and love that it's free).
I'm have a MacBook Pro running Leopard,and I've been using Open Office to write my papers.
