Which Is Better for Business?Apple's new operating system update is packed with productivity-boosting features. Dubbed OS X Yosemite, the update includes a revamped notification center, a new way to search from the desktop, and new options to connect your iPhone or iPad to your desktop computer. But how does the new version of OS X stack up to Windows 8.1? Read on to see how the new and updated features in OSX Yosemite compare to the latest release for Microsoft's desktop operating system.
Desktop/mobile continuity
OS X Yosemite: One of the best new additions to OS X Yosemite is a slew of features that help your MacBook or iMac work together with any iPhone or iPad. That includes the ability to take an incoming phone call from your Mac computer – even when your iPhone is charging in another room. That's because your computer can now leverage your iPhone connection and use your computer's microphone and speaker to act as a phone. When you receive an incoming call, you'll get an alert right on your desktop, and can answer it with one click. You can also place outgoing calls.
And there's a second new way OS X can connect to your iPhone or iPad, thanks to a feature called Handoff. It lets you seamlessly send an in-progress document or email from your Mac to your mobile device – or vice versa – with a single tap. When you're at work on your desktop computer, just swipe up on your iOS device to beam your document over to your iPhone or iPad. And if you're tapping out an email on your mobile device, just click on the Handoff icon on your computer desktop to make the switch in the opposite direction.
