My company has made the decision to use Apple laptops so I'm wondering if anyone has had any meaningful conversations with Microsoft on the feature gaps for business users? Even something as basic as sync'ing contacts between Outlook and my iPhone is a monumental task. As a business user I feel abandoned by Microsoft now that I'm using a Mac. MS is the largest software company in the world and should have the resources to provide a similar experience with ALL of the same features on a Mac unless there is a conscience effort not to do so. I've been a happy user of MS Office since 1999 but have lost a great deal of respect over the last month due to the gaps between the PC and Apple platforms. Anyone that can offer me some light at the end of the tunnel would be helpful.
Overview:
- Macbook Air
- MS Office 2011
- O365 User
- iPhone 4S
Challenges (a few of the bigger one):
- Contacts require a cut & Paste to add from an email
- Contacts won't sync with my phone
- Contacts don't import properly from .csv
- I can't insert a vCard into an existing email
- When cutting/pasting from Excel/Word to an email, the formatting changes
- I can't recall or modify a sent email
- I can't delay an email to be sent or set it to be sent at a future time
- Email folders won't allow me to write the entire name in the folder when it's created.
In case you're wondering why I don't just go back to a PC.....the answer is because the Mac did a good job in providing a nice producT.. Now I'd like Microsoft to to do the same.
