![]() ![]() Microsoft Office 2011: I heard rumors early on that High Sierra would not support Office 2011. I then set my sights on testing the primary legacy apps that I use. While I was both surprised and disappointed, it was not a deal-breaker, as I don’t need to run Drive Genius on a regular basis. It turned out that the first program I tried to open in High Sierra was not a legacy application, but rather a recent acquisition called Drive Genius 5 that enables users like myself to make certain changes to their drive partitions without reformatting.Įven though I was running the latest (5.0.5) version of Drive Genius, the program would not launch in High Sierra. Naturally, I was interested to learn whether I would be able to run them using High Sierra (10.13). I have been able to run all my legacy programs using every macOS upgrade from Lion (10.7) to Sierra (10.12). To complete the work that I do, I rely mostly on several legacy suites and applications, including Microsoft Office 2011, Adobe Photoshop CS3, Bento 4, and Final Cut Pro Studio. Finally, I run Windows software using Parallels. I maintain customized lists and databases using several software applications. I use a scanner to digitize my diverse collection of still photographs and personal memorabilia. For example, I produce videos for posting on the Internet and digitize old phonograph records so they can be played back on Macs and iOS devices. If this were the 1990s, you might label me as a multimedia afficionado, or fanatic. The Mac community is comprised of many types of users who have different needs and interests, so their impressions of the same piece of system software that I reviewed are likely to vary. Their promotional ads might contain a message similar to this: “Version 99.0 of our most popular widget has been updated so you can take full advantage of the latest technologies that enable you to enjoy life to the fullest and have fun in the process.” While product upgrades certainly serve a useful purpose and I’m not opposed to them in principle, the changes should not be so dramatic that they disrupt a company’s or a person’s workflow. ![]() Apple has been waging an effective marketing campaign during the macOSX/iPhone/iPad era, enabling the firm to attain dominance in a number of categories. ![]()
