Anyone use a Mac for their daily corporate Laptop?

[Si.]

Just wondered who used a Mac for their daily corp/office laptop? not just home use or content creation, but as a general office daily use laptop (Specifically interested if anyone in an IT role is using one).

How do you find it and what issues (If any) do you encounter?

Thanks All.. I guess I just need to find equivalents of the apps I'm using on Windows.. and Hope the production VMware Fusion is out soon

My work MacBook Pro arrived mid last week and I've started setting it up (Note I use a MBP at home so I know OSX well).

Already hitting some issues that mean using a MBP in a corp environment is a PITA! Issues I'm having at the moment:

• OneDrive won't Sync due to security settings limiting syncing to Domain joined devices only. Note the Mac is Domain joined and Intune managed. I've raised this one as a case with Microsoft.
• Lack of Visio. I knew this one already and I'm looking at alternatives.
• Some corporate apps just don't have an osx version. Parallels is an option, but trying to work on other solutions before using that.
• 802.1x Wifi means I currently can't connect to any corporate WIFI SSIDS.. only Guest internet only SSIDs. TOTAL PITA ands the biggest issue at the moment. Still trying to figure this one out but no luck so far.

I'm going to spend some time with Intune tomorrow and see if I can get it to work.
