#Mac os x 10.6.8 update to el capitan pro#

A few weeks ago I wanted to insert a landscape table: impossible. I like Pages better than Word, but almost every time I start a document in Pages I end up converting it to Word because some functionality which used to be there is missing. The latter has become my default cloud storage and I would abandon iCloud altogether were it not used by 1Password to sync across my devices.

So, after 12 years of being Microsoft-free I now have on Office 365 subscription and a 1Tb Onedrive. It might be seamless, but itвЂ™s unusable for anything more than simple home use. It is worth pointing out that the requirement to run Office was an own goal of monumental proportions by Apple when it dumbed down iWork to make it вЂњseamlessвЂќ across iOS, OS X and the web.

Two of my three Macs are now on 10.11 вЂ“ I have kept the third on 10.10 until Office works properly. The problems with Yosemite no doubt fuelled a substantial number of early upgrades to El Capitan. The trend at Apple has become increasingly clear in that theyвЂ™re systematically marginalizing and functionally destroying the ecosystems that they cultivated for years for their вЂProsumerвЂ™ creatives customer segmentвЂ¦.enough is enough.

The above already happened once with OS X 10.10 with Apple yanking iPhoto to replace it with the POS betaware вЂњPhotosвЂќ app вЂ¦ took me nearly a week to clean up the mess that that caused, and my IT plan for the next 6 months is to clean up my iPhoto database and transition it to Adobe Lightroom 6.ДЄnd since Lightroom is OS agnostic, it also means that when my Mac Pro needs to be retired, unless the вЂњtrash canвЂќ has been dramatically changed, IвЂ™ll be holding my nose and buying our first ever home Windows machine. Reason being that my Mac is *not* a toy that I can tolerate having glitches and software incompatibility issues with that obstruct my productivity. IвЂ™ll answer MDN as well: No, IвЂ™ve not upgraded вЂ¦ nor do I anticipate doing so within the next 6 months.
