                    Macs generally fare well on Windows, with compatible document formats and file-sharing technologies. The latest Mac OS works especially well in the Microsoft universe.

                    These OSs work well on a Windows network when it comes to printing. 
File-sharing and e-mail, however, are more complicated.
                    
		            
                
                    
                    
                    
                 
            
                
	                 
                    
                                        
		            
                    Non-Windows CE-powered handhelds still have a way to go and can't be used for much more than messaging and basic remote access. Windows CE personal digital assistants, naturally, work much better in this regard.
