Windows vs. Apple

Which one is better? I been using window for long as I can remember.

This is what I've heard from several sources over the years:

PC's are for the more computer illiterate users like people who only use computers for basic needs while Mac's seem to be for people that are more versed in the inner-workings of computers and such. Mac's also are apparently popular amongst graphic artists and people that use large and complicated programs in their line of work.

ok well i am just a bit bias on my opinion but here it is.

I would say windows is better. Mac in the past have been known for more for the graphic editing and music editing stuff put you can find the same programs for windows now too. Also there are many more programs you will be able to find for window that you wont be able to find for mac. So in all i would always suggest windows.

true windows can have most mac items but sometimes don't work as well like browsers firefox doesn't work as well on a mac like safari on windows. i like using photoshop and garage band on a mac than a windows computer. i think on the newer macs the new os can have windows applications that actually work. i might be wrong on that part so please correct me if i am. right now apple is doing better than microsoft in the stocks. i have a mac and it's not bad unless you want to play games like diablo eve online and other rpg games you have to d/l then you are pretty much screwed on that part.

Well, there really is no "better" per-say. But, based on opinions, Macs are more work computers. Used by graphics artists, music mixers, ect. Where as Windows is more of a gamers kind of operating system.

The fact that some people say one is better then the other is just that they are ignorant about what the other is used for.

But then there are the other OS's used by the computer savy. Linux is strictly a Programmers OS. I used to run it back when I was learning about the backend of a computer OS. But Now I run Windows as I can game and use PS for art.

It is true that there really isnt any better just some personal choice in what you like and what you want to do. Though Now mac and windows can each do just about everything the other can do now.

And yes you can now even install windows on to a mac machine.

Maybe Mac will surpass Windows someday.

A big reason for linux getting so few viruses is because so few people use it. MOst people who write viruses do it to cause the most harm possible and the best way to do that is on a windows platform.
