Just sync to the cloud and you don't need your devices to work with each other directly.
That's just the thing, Apple does this so well when you buy into the system.
I laugh every time I hear someone complain about how they can't do this and that with their iPhone using a cable etc...but I haven't used a cable in years.
A friend the other day was lamenting how much of a pain it was to do something with photos. I just laughed and jokingly told her she's doing it wrong because if you conform and do it "their way" it's just so much better.
Case in point is that I don't even think about making a plan to get my photos on my Macbook...when I open iPhoto they are already there...because iCloud. And same goes in reverse for my iPad etc.
Now obviously you can do this on other platforms by now but it can be quite a manual process to make it work, which is why I'm leaning to Windows at the moment where it seems the most integrated (after Apple).
Can't ask for one at the new job?
I probably can, but in a way I do feel it's time for a bit of a change.
Just like changing jobs I might as well be a little experimental.
I've always been pretty platform agnostic, like I tried to illustrate I'm not sticking to Apple now because I'm a fanboy but rather because it simply works so well and changing that will break my life. I work with Windows/Apple/Linux devices every day so it's not like I'm completely ignorant of the rest, I just choose to go Apple.
Now I'm prepared to break it on purpose with a plan in hand.
I could go Linux desktop for my primary but for reasons of legacy access to my Apple stuff I still need to run iTunes which means a Windows VM etc...then I might as well just embrace Windows and get on with it. It's been 5 odd years since I've lasted worked on a Windows machine for a daily and that was just a few months before I went back to Apple.
