The popularity of cloud-based computing, in which business professionals largely only need internet access to a web-based application using the Safari, Firefox, or Chrome Web browsers, combined with Microsoft's continued Office productivity suite support for OS X and even iOS, essentially eliminates incompatibilities.

Fortunately, diesel fuel dispenser nozzles are sized to help prevent accidental insertion within an unleaded fuel tank. Pumping diesel fuel into a vehicle requiring unleaded gasoline makes what most would describe as a first-class mess.
