Re: Macs in biomedical research
"After 15 years in biomed research on 2 continents, I don't see where this comes from. Pretty much every equipment is Windows, with a few custom Linux here and there. I believe Leica briefly sold a microscope that coud come in a Mac version but that stopped when Apple stopped making computers"
One of the really sad things about Apple under the current management is that they appear to be completely neglecting their professional customers in favour of phones, tablets and social media lifestyle laptops. I don't think that Steve Jobs would ever have allowed this to happen since all this only started happening after his demise.
I know of families who've completely deserted the Apple ecosystem to go to Windows and Android and developers who've gone over to Linux. With phone and tablet sales flatlining, it's an insane and wholly counterproductive policy to neglect professional users.
