???
I spent quite some time with the fanboi IT team looking at ways to replicate the way I use Windows, whilst there is some capability to put apps where you want them it is limited compared to Windows.
I'm still curious... what is it you were trying to achieve but couldn't?
I have a 32" 4k monitor that I use instead of multiple monitors, I want several apps open at different sizes in different parts of the screen. These sizes aren't fixed and I may change them depending on what I'm doing at the time.
Initially I was told the Mac would be fine but when it came to testing they couldn't do it. Then there were issues with multiple monitor support and remote desktop connections to servers, they gave up and gave me Windows in a Mac obsessed company.

Maybe I'm missing something, but I don't really understand how it couldn't do that. That's just how all OSs have worked for decades. I mean, every window within reason on a Mac is movable and resizable, always has been.

The other issues seem like everyday functionality too. Like I say, I must be missing something!
