Magento, WooCommerce, and Shopify are the most widely used ecommerce platforms, and each of them can support complex shipping options. Magento's Multiple Table Rates extension provides configurable shipping options, but it may be a more complex solution than a small business wants to take on. WooCommerce's Table Rate Shipping extension provides configurable shipping options for Wordpress sites. Shopify claims to support complex shipping rate requirements, but a quick web search will show you quite a few Shopify customer complaints about the added cost for some of the shipping functionality.

There are a couple of ways to look at this question. 1. How much are Apple products (Macs, iPads, iPhones) used in businesses by the enterprise? Adoption is certainly growing. However, growth is coming from the bring your own device movement. BYOD means to bring your own device. This trend in corporate information technology allows employees to bring whatever technology they use in their personal lives to work. The corporate IT department focuses on securing work data and communication on these devices. In this case growth of Apple devices in the consumer market is putting pressure on corporate IT departments to support Apple products. Corporate IT use of Apple software and hardware. Mobile devices like iPads gain traction in enterprise market. 60% of businesses support more than 100 devices 2. What is the future for Apple products and technology in business and enterprise software or hardware? In this case, the biggest news is the Apple / IBM partnership. This announcement in 2014 seemed strange to a lot of commentators. It is still unclear how much it will matter to either company, but I might send a strong signal to businesses that Apple is ready for the enterprise. Here are the product and partnership pages for both companies: Apple's enterprise apps in partnership with IBM. IBM makes a mobile push with Apple Many are still skeptical or curious. Here is some independent commentary: Apple and IBM make an odd couple. The answer to your question starts with a question: what is your objective with the original move. That will help define whether you should look at Apple or (Apple/IBM) as an alternative.

Any major OS upgrade is bound to come with some bumps in the road (at a minimum). You should check to be sure that the major software and components that you use are compatible with Windows 10, and then you should plan on spending hours not minutes troubleshooting any issues that may arise from the upgrade (such as required driver updates). Whether or not to upgrade is really just a question of whether or not the new features of Windows 10 seem worth the time investment and the risk of compatibility issues with some of your software. Check out InfoWorld's article on Windows 10 installation issues that may be helpful.

PCWorld ran a helpful article on this topic. Using Wine, open source compatibility layer, is the only option that doesn't involve running Windows itself. Wine does not work with every single Windows application, so you will need to check and see if it supports the software you need to run. The other option is to run Windows in a virtual machine. The article also discusses dual booting but that suggestion is focused on desktop machines and unlikely to be practical in a server environment.
