While the attention is here- anyone know how to share a ’17 MBP on a 27″ iMac at full size? ~I’m using screens share but only get a 13.5″ window – I want to use the whole thing
You need to match the resolution of your MBP to the iMac screen. I’m sure you use to be able to do this via the preferences, but I don’t think there’s an easy way to do this now outside of downloading an app. Display Menu is a popular one but annoyingly you need to pay a couple of quid for the “pro” one that does the retina resolutions. You might find something free if you google a bit.
This. So if you are a “power user” or someone has shared with you a complex spreadsheet/document with vba it won’t work
Yes, this. I use 365 and various office apps all the time and usually seamlessly switch between Mac and Windows, share with other Windows users, and get very little bother. But then I’m not doing anything particularly complicated.
I did go the VMWare route a few years back for some Windows stuff but never use it now. Use Omnigraffle for Visio stuff, which seems to produce files that Visio is happy enough with. Use MySQL and its Workbench for quick DB stuff where I might previously have considered Access.
