I'd suggest it again since apple devices can run zoom but no other devices run facetime except apple devices.

Facetime is Apple.
Does it even work on Windows machines?
This was a major use case that was overlooked.

Force Zoom. Seriously.

I studied digital music last semester and the course required the use of Cubase DAW that was written for Mac. I didn't have the money for a new laptop so I bought a "PC version" of the software. What a PITA. Sometimes it's easier to learn a new platform.

My wife is an acting SES in the government and has been frustratingly working with her government issued DOS (NMCI) machine from home while the kids and I zip through the day on Pros.

Two are over a decade old and have traveled a lot.

VM's, Virtual Machines.

Pretty much free to create them.

I have no choice but to live in all 3 OS worlds as some development tools are platform specific.

My main MacBook always has a dual boot for Windows as well as Windows and Linux VM's installed.

A while back I had an issue with my Mac right before a business trip and knew I'd need access t Xcode so dropped an OSX VM on my Windows laptop and carried that for the trip instead.

Nothing beats native OS on hardware but sometimes you don't need to carry around 3 laptops.

Zoom, GotoMeeting and all those are easy to use so there is no reason they can't all do it on one platform. It can run directly from a browser if they don't want to install the free app.

Berettafan, I was hoping that would come across correctly.

Flipper i followed for sure! well done!
