Are Macs compatible with other devices and software? Yes, as long as you do your research first. Early adopters may experience some compatibility issues, but as companies update and optimize their products for the M1 processor, most of these concerns will disappear. Organizations can offer users Microsoft Office for Mac, which has improved significantly in recent years and offers features more similar to those of Windows editions. Additionally, many other software vendors offer versions of their products for both Mac and Windows.
In some cases, an organization may opt for Apple's free productivity software, Apple iWork, which includes Pages, Numbers and Keynote. These applications offer a high degree of compatibility with Office products. Apple's new attitude towards the Mac is reflected in functions such as Catalyst, which unites the Mac and the iPad in terms of software development. Although Mac computers may not be the safe haven that some consider them to be, their Unix-based roots and Apple's strict controls over the software that can be run on them continue to make Macs more secure than Windows.
