What of the post did you understand?

That I'm FAR better off with Apple macOS :-D

How so?

"The integration between applications on the
desktop, with each other and the OS services, and the integration with my
iOS devices, is a huge plus."

I couldn't phrase things any better than Snit!

Thanks, Snit! :-D

Snit's actually on point about this. Example for me, I use Windows,
however I do have an iPhone and last year purchased an Apple Watch 4
which BTW is an amazing device.

So, getting it working involved charging the watch and placing it near
the iPhone. It picked up and configured networking, applications,
configuration options as they were set on my iPhone and so forth.
I was impressed.

Now would I pay 3x the going rate for a Mac as compared to a PC for
that type of integration? Or even more since I build my own systems.

Probably not, but the Apple watch is not much more expensive than the
other alternatives and it's the only one, currently, with an approved
ECG measuring capability, at least in USA.


I have heard that it saved some peoples lives when having a heart attack
by dialing 911 and letting the dispatcher know where you are at.
The guy woke up at the hospital wondering what happened.

However there is no denying that Apple has the integration between
devices down to a science, as long as the user is willing to fork over
the cash for that option and many do.
