Nope, never stated that… just saying that if you want a point to come across valid might want to check your comment before posting.

And just because Gates hasn’t been a part of the company doesn’t mean he doesn’t have a voice in it. I have friends in Cali working in tech who state that he is still involved in certain parts of the company.

But either way, I shouldn’t have to deal with this just because I believe iMacs are better than a trash laptop with Microsoft.

I was a teacher for years and getting Google Laptops for kids was my nightmare! They were always so slow and had so many issues! When we used iPads we NEVER had problems… that shows something!

Microsoft vs iOS will never die! But now I have students not being able to use certain Microsoft apps because they have an Apple computer… I feel so bad because I don’t know what to tell them because I also have an Apple and cannot access the same apps.

Sure bud. Whatever makes you feel better. There are much nicer ways to point out a simple mistake if that was your actual intention. And based on the response, it clearly wasn't.

Saying their are Microsoft apps you can't use on Apple products is the pot calling the kettle black.

And what do Google laptops have to do with this?
