You're just blathering. Try reading what I said for comprehension.

I'm stating this from the perspective of having desktop apps and tablet apps on the same device. This is a huge advantage.

Lloyd Parsons
One of the biggest irritants with Windows is that some apps in the 'modern UI' don't actually share data with desktop apps. Coming from Apple, that seems kind of idiotic.

Nashton
How can that be? There isn't a single device that integrate both the desktop and iOS version of Apple's apps. What are you talking about?

Lloyd Parsons
Apple apps that have both OSX and iOS versions damned well do share Data and have since the beginning.

You mean like calendar and contacts?

Where everything gets duplicated when you sync?

Not to mention the unintuitive way you need to employ to get everything working.

Just use Google Calendar and Google contacts and sync with your MS device, it all works like a charm and is configurable via the email accounts settings (sync email, calendars, contacts, etc).

Furthermore, Apple doesn't support simultaneous syncing of its own calendar with Google.

MS does. So when I'm offline, I can add an event/contact to my MS calendar and everything will sync nicely on my devices.

Lloyd Parsons
For instance, Outlook the program does not share contacts with 'People' the modern UI version of contacts. And Skype is worse. Skype desktop doesn't share contacts with Skype modern UI. In the 'modern UI' you use 'people', pick a contact and then tell it to Skype. Seems asinine to do it that way.

Nashton
But you can do it if you have an exchange account. Don't forget this is a business/enterprise application.

Lloyd Parsons
Outlook is, Skype isn't.

But regardless, data like calendar, people and so forth should be all The same across the various windows platforms at least at the same Software/os levels.

Nashton
Except that Apple's way sucks and MS's doesn't.
