RE: Mac's Appeal to New Switchers?
Prior to the M1, some VoiceOver users reported serious bugs so I believe that no OS is perfect. Sometimes, the fault lies within a particular app. From: 'Jason White' via MacVisionaries Sent: Monday, May 10, 2021 7:39 PM To: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: Mac's Appeal to New Switchers? I don’t know. In the Windows world, there seems to be a steady influx of bugs that some users experience after each update – even minor updates. Have a look at https://www.windowslatest.com One of my laptops has a Windows 10 installation on it (along with Linux). So far, I haven’t run into any of the serious bugs reported on the above site, but it appears that, with each update, some people are encountering issues.

Actually, you don't have to use a separate sound card on Windows and can do the install independently.

RE: Mac's Appeal to New Switchers?
I am not a Windows switcher so to speak. I will continue to use both operating systems, but I was interested in the ability to use IOS apps on the Mac. Sadly, there are not as many as I'd like, but I can at least play swift playgrounds and enjoy a consistent interface, a responsive system, and great VoiceOver support for native apps. Catalyst apps leave a lot to be desired. Curiosity got me into the Mac world. -Original Message- From: 'Sabahattin Gucukoglu' via MacVisionaries Sent: Monday, May 10, 2021 9:42 AM To: 'Tim Kilburn' via MacVisionaries Subject: Mac's Appeal to New Switchers? I notice a steady stream of new VO-using Mac switchers, and I was just wondering what brought them all to the fold in recent times. Is it all about Apple Silicon, or are there other developments out there in the Windows world that are driving this? Something else, perhaps?
