Dissatisfaction creates consumer intolerance and a resolution to distrust anything the company releases ever again.Īs for complaining about Apple, I'm entited. If MS doesn't provide one, it's a black eye in the support division of both companies. If Apple needs a new Microsoft keyboard driver, they should swallow their pride and ask Microsoft to make one. The old adage, "If ain't broke, don't fix it!" isn't even in the lexicon of any IT manufacturer or software engineer, including Apple. Each year with every new product or upgrade release, they disappoint a bit more. I won't even try a track pad for the work I do.Īs for "support," Apple in the past was superlative. The wireless mouse is okay, nothing more. The System Preferences workaround shown above does not work for my Mac Pro running ML! I, positively "hate" every Apple keyboard I've used. If you want to yell at someone, yet at Microsoft.

You don't even have to do anything in the MS Keyboard panel. Open the System Preferences and click on the Microsoft Keyboard icon. Once you get used to the much more natural, relaxed position of a curved ergo keyboard, you don't want anything else. I can't stand any type of straight keyboard, and that's all Apple offers. I use an MS Ergonomic 4000, and have for years. Do you really think Apple and Microsoft write the thousands of printer drivers available for their respective OS's? The answer is no, they don't. It's not Apple's responsibility to write drivers for Microsoft's hardware. Here's to Steve Jobs: Tyrant-visionary who had no equal!
