Limitations if it matters.

Microsoft Access: This database application is exclusively for Windows PCs. It does not have a Mac version.

Complex Macros: While basic macros work on both platforms, very complex Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) code and ActiveX controls rely on Windows architecture and may not run on a Mac.

Advanced Add-ins: Specialized third-party integrations (e.g., deep Adobe Acrobat, Zapier, or Salesforce features) often work better or are only available on the Windows version.

Interface & Shortcuts: The menu layouts, ribbons, and keyboard shortcuts differ slightly between operating systems to align with Mac or Windows conventions
