At my old job we used Macs for two reasons: Preview and Outlook on MacOS. I know it sounds silly to people who don’t have to work with email or pdf’s as much as I had to, but it was absolutely the right call for the work we had to do.
Also, depending on your use case it’s crazy how much worse Outlook is on Windows. Local indexing is far worse on Windows, and trying to search a big mailbox brings the app to its knees.
Preview? Am I missing something? I hate that you can even navigate through photos with left right arrows, I never use preview for anything if I can avoid it.
That’s hilarious, because less than 10 years ago Outlook on Mac was so fucking broken that I started a list of the weirdest and funniest bugs at the time.
Also it seems frankly insane to me that people would actively choose a Mac for this reason, and I say that as an M4 owner. But I guess it’s true that for most users the OS barely matters as long as their 2-3 apps and the browser work fine.
This functionality with PDFs is natively built into MacOS. One of the reasons I chose a Mac for my latest PC.

Then why do you use this shit software?
It’s even worse with the "new " Outlook, so you might need to look for something else anyway
