Software not Mac compatible

I don't believe that is an accurate analogy although I hope it prompts Ring to pay more attention to non-Windows machines. Honestly, from a user's standpoint I don't see great functional difference between working on a Mac or a Windows machine. If you are familiar with one you should be able to use the other without much fuss. I work professionally on a W10 work station but have no problem using the Macs in the company graphics department when I need to. Likewise the graphics staff seem to have no problem using the company supplied Windows laptops. I posit your Windows fears may be founded on unfamiliarity. Try it once. You will see there are vastly more similarities than differences.
You will always know which machine you are on - if it operates silky smooth you're on the Mac, if it spits and stutters you are on the Windows PC. :P

My point exactly.....
However, I agree that the newer versions of Windows have nearly caught up to Mac OS. The earlier versions were more like awkward attempts to copy the Mac OS.
I am not totally unfamiliar with Windows. At one point in my career, I was teaching college biology students how to analyze their data in Excel -- on Windows computers -- which is what the computer lab had. Of course Excel is pretty similar across the platforms, but I learned the basics of Windows. However, I could never get over the two-button mouse. After spending more than a decade pressing the WHOLE mouse, I kept pressing the wrong side of the Windows mouse, sending me off somewhere that I did not want to go.
