You got to admire Apple fanboy's nerve to say Apple is a better company when it comes to IT in a professional setting.

It appears whatever their basic and narrow use-case is becomes what the whole "corporate IT" is.

Windows sucks and recently Microsoft has been on a path to make it suck more, but saying Apple is better for this part of the IT universe is.. hilarious.

You know that the parent commenter was joking right?

[PedroBatista]

Yes, hence my comment about what he was responding/mocking to.

I think he was talking about grandparent due to baseless criticism of Microsoft and overly praise of Apple based on a flawed or lack of understanding.

I think if someone wants to criticize Microsoft after experiencing their buggy products for 20 years straight, that is not “baseless,” although I accept that taking responsibility for literally anything our products do goes against the core values of our profession.

The do have some crappy products, but those crappy products make the world move, because nobody really makes better drop in replacement products, same as SAP, Canonical, Android, etc, none of them are fault tolerant, they all have issues and will fail if you fuzz them with enough edge cases, and according to this article CroudStrike caused the issue, not Windows which is what I was pointing at.

Do you think MacOS can't fail if you fuck with it long enough? Sometimes you don't even have to, it just fails by itself. My Ubuntu 22.04 LTS at my previous job gave me more issues than Windows ever did. Thanks Snaps, Wayland and APT. No workstation OS is perfect.

If you want a fault tolerant OS you're gonna have to roll out your own Linux/BSD build based on your requirements and do your own dev and testing. Which company has money for that? So of course they're gonna pick an off-the-shelf solution that best fits their needs on the budget. How is this Microsoft's fault what their customers choose to do with it? Did they guarantee anywhere their desktop OS os fault tolerant should be used in high availability systems and emergency services, especially with crappy endpoint solutions hooked at kernel level?
