We have an IT vendor that's trying to convince our CFO to move to
Office365/SharePoint. I get why they're proposing it. They're a
Microsoft only consultant and it's the only tool in their box. Also,
they stand to make some big bucks in professional services to set it
all up.
However, they're steam-rolling over the objections of a large number
of more modern users who have been using Macs, Linux and Google Apps
for Business for years.
Does anyone have recent experience with SharePoint/Office365 using a
client on any OS other than windows? I would very much like to know
what breaks and/or causes difficulty for Mac and Linux users. If
Exchange is any example, they'll claim it's cross platform (i.e. OWA)
but in practice you get limited functionality unless you're running
Windows.

Can't talk to the hosted version, but regular SharePoint breaks rather
badly on Windows - when you're running across a VPN.
Re. Exchange, I've had pretty good luck accessing the company server
from both my personal Mac and my Android phone.
