Microsoft is great...

As long as you don’t need it for any actual work, or need to be in control of what it decides to do on its own, or require consistency or reliability, or anything like that.

But for games and such,its fine for my kids.

My office is a mixed Mac/Windows environment.

We have iPads for taking payments. We use iPhones to photograph embroidery sew outs to send to customers. Our workstations are iMacs, Mac Minis and Mac Pros. They all run VMWare Fusion/Windows 7 so that they can run QuickBooks. Everything else is done under OS X.

We have a Wndows PC acting as our QuickBooks server and one to run our garment printer.

Guess where we have over 90% of our issues...yep, the Windows stuff.

Seems the Macs play perfectly well in the Window’s sandbox, but not the other way around. The Windows boxes also have many more updates which cause issues with production.

The thought of a Windows tablet just fills me with dread....

It's fine for games after its finished updating. You can't use your Microsoft's computer until then.

A co-worker who has to use some company software to run his office uses it and curses it but he also has much on 3 x 5 cards so when he has to get an answer quick he pulls them out.

I use a program to record my Help Desk tickets and it works pretty good but.... I learned years ago to always have Notepad open and type in my notes there first just in case the ticket system stops working.
Notepad always works.

Now I do not know what the football coach is doing with the tablet but you would think drawing lines and writing notes would be a simple task.
Microsoft should send over one of their nerds and ask the coach what he needs to fix this.
