This is 25% of what we wanted. Photos are for sharing. If half the world cannot see the live photo, what good is it? If I cannot download the MOV file and insert into a movie app, what good is it? You now have our live photos caged in your app, what good is that? Your "agile" "MVP" stunk. You solved the wrong problem. Typical in todays tech world, solving all the wrong problems using the wrong data as a basis for decisions.
Note to users: You will need to keep your IOS photos in their cloud. When you download from there, you get a JPG AND MOV. Microsoft downloads the JPG in an HEIC container. Good grief Charlie Brown.
UPDATE 6/6/21: After many years of waiting on MS to get caught up and start solving the right problems, I gave up. I have a Mac Mini and am in the process of data migration. iCloud has proven superior in every way so far. Pictures scroll effortlessly. Tagging is a breeze. And the sync to all devices is unbelievable. Music sync is incredibly fast. It will probably take me the next year to complete the data move, but I had to do it. And for under $1000 I have 1Tb of SSD and 16 GB RAM, albeit on an M1 chip. I was really hopeful to stay out of the Apple locked up ecosystem. At the same time, I just don't have time to deal with MS being such a corporate giant they can no longer solve the right problems. Since both are equally woke organizations there was no political reason to pick one over the other. It comes down to this, Apple has always "just worked" and that continues today. And they do give us enough flexibility to wipe all the wokeness off the devices if we want to. Apple, absolutely hands down winner, and the price points on the M1 machines now make it a no brainer. I ditched Xbox One too in favor of Nintendo.
MS has been one epic fail after another with Windows Phone, Zune, XBox (better know as cheat box). I think they will remain dominate in the cooperate world due to how cheap it is to deploy various labeled computers. But, M1 is a new game that Apple, if it has its act together, will push into that space sooner than later. I work for a giant mega-woke corp and they already are deploying mac to so many developers, unheard of 5 years ago. MS too big to fail?, I don't think so.
