What does Apple's App Store show about Microsoft and other tools
This is what I see when I view the “Top Free” apps in Apple’s App Store. I’m making a million and one assumptions, but there is some truth in this.
OSX - they like to stay up-to-date
Kindle - Apple lost the ebook war
Windows Remote Desktop (RDP) - Mac users still need Windows regularly
Xcode - there are a lot of developers on Macs
Unarchiver - I really don’t get this, do people really need to uncompress more than just zip files?
Slack - IRC is dead and businesses are using Instant Messengers more
Instagram - people spend too much time on social media, is Twitter and Facebook not enough?
ooVoo - Facetime isn’t doing so well, maybe? or maybe there are a lot of Android users on OSX (I’m one of them)
MS OneNote - people still choose to use Microsoft
MS OneDrive - people still choose to use Microsoft
Solitaire - people still want an app that came with Windows 3.1
Evernote - Apple’s Notes app isn’t cutting it
