I agree. In my experience, Windows "just works". And when it comes to working on graphics-intensive applications, and using commercial software packages it's a shoo-in.

For all the hate MS gets, windows 11 is pretty much perfect. Never had any issues with it whatsoever. Even teams runs well on it, not so much on Mac from what I hear. "I can't share my screen" "Teams has crashed" I would be furious if my 2k EUR Mac couldn't run a chat app.

Yeah… you lost all credibility when bringing up teams as a benchmark. It’s a piece of utter steaming junk that I would barely call software. Zoom and slack work just fine because they weren’t built by imbeciles.

Zoom and Slack do not work fine.

Zoom just sits around devouring CPU while it's not even on a call.

If I ever walk in and my MacBook sounds like a jet trying to take off and is hot enough to cook dinner on, I know it's because Slack wants to update. I have no idea what it's doing to show me that "needs to install a helper" dialog.

Teams is a poorly-built app, a terrible experience and hardly any kind of benchmark for the quality of a Mac.

Same could be said for Safari though.

If someone from MS gets the wrong idea reading this, I can attest than Teams is absolutely awful to use on my 2k EUR Windows 10 machine.

Isn’t Teams a Microsoft app? It crashing on Mac OS then makes sense, and why wouldn’t that be seen as a Microsoft problem rather than an Apple one?
