I just use TextEdit. Gets the job done.
Tomorrow morning? XD
One Note organizes it pretty well.
The more I learn of business and marketing. The more I notice just how drugged up and retarted Microsoft's marketing teams are. Their new advertisements(pulled from TV after a day) about Apple, and bashing iPhone or iPod, and me using their products a lot more now have shown me one thing.
Their marketing team is among the world's worst probably and all need to either be fired or need to be taken off the magical $200,000 paycheck magical check they drink from.
Intergration, completeness, and key uses are the biggest problems Microsoft suffers with their programs. Their incompetence in marketing their own products makes these products all the more worse.
Example:
Apple's Touch ID sensor and Apple ID intergration. Microsoft and a big majority of companies FAILED hard with intergrating fingerprint scanners into computers. WHY? They marketed it wrong. I was blown away today after doing some in depth reading and analyzing of the Touch ID that I was beyond words at how good Apple's marketing team is. Microsoft +others failed in finger print scanners in the past because they touted it as a security device. Apple touts it as a secure way to get in. Yes, people have 'cracked' the Touch ID already. But that isn't he whole point. Many people don't use passcodes, and for those that do. Touch ID is a featurue that lets people easilly 'secure' their devices quickly and semi securley WHILE apple doesn't tout it as a full blown security device. Their Apple Id intergration when you buy their product is also amazing. It is the simple things. From the past, each and eveyr single time you've given Apple info it was recorded and so when you type your info into a new device. BOOM, synched. But how did they do this so well? Full blown completeness. From how the 'log in' screen pops up to how the icons look to the consumer in entering information by Apple looks easy and seamless while when I see one from Microsoft it looks horrible.
So now, going back to the main point. After using Windows 8, testing out the Slates, using my school's software download suite to test out Microsoft's 2013 Office programs to their intergration with Skydive and the cloud.
Microsoft has some great products. One Note is absolutely an entrepreneurial mind blown. Word functions as you would want to, and Power Point hashes out video presentations and information quickly and well. But then the programs surface. The 'ribbon' theme throws an insane amount of cluttering and 'hard' to use to the consumer. Do I click that on the left side of the screen or that on the right side of the screen to maybe find what I want? When skydive asks you to sign in. It looks like the general crap sign in box and you then have to go through a 10 minute process of singing up and what not. And then the synching. Does it auto synch or do I have to do something? Wait, where do I save it to when it gives me these three boxes? ARe some things consumers would ask. Apple just says, we are going to put EVERYTHING in a few 'menu' boxes up in the top left and that contains everything. Everything will auto save without you saying something(Google does this as well), and you don't have to hit 'save' or 'apply.
Seriously. If Microsoft got a good marketing team, they could be making some serious strides against Apple with their One Note software and Office platform. If Apple rolled out a software similar to One Note today or has the College student planner and financial budget templates that excel and word may have with intergration to their cloud services. People would be dropping to their knees today. Why? Because Apple knows how to ****** market schit to gold.
