What You Should Know About Windows vs Mac OS

By Dave Carlile


You've undoubtedly heard about or even taken part yourself in that debate that's been raging for years amongst computer users: Windows vs. Mac OS. This isn't exactly a new debate and each system has quite a bit to it that makes it a good choice. Yet there are differences that mean that one or the other is probably better for your purposes. Consider the features of Windows and Mac that we'll be discussing in this article, and then make up your own mind.

When you want to be able to use a variety of "external" devices, you'll usually have better options with a Windows based computer. When you buy a Windows 7 based computer, for example, your CPU will usually come with built in blu-ray as well as readers for multi-format cards and memory sticks. Lots of people want to connect their PCs to their televisions and when want to do this with your Mac, you'll need a special converter.

Most users of Windows find that Windows 7 is a genuine improvement over previous Windows operating systems. With the coming of Windows 7, Windows is gaining ground on Mac computers with much better security and less likely to crash. People who use systems such as Windows Vista or XP, as well as earlier versions, have had many complaints about glitches and crashes. Microsoft has recently released Windows 7, and it is their operating system that seems to be the most reliable. Whether Windows 8 will prove to be even better remains to be seen.

What is important about a computer is taking care of your needs, but it is a good idea to get a computer that looks good to you. However, many people prefer the look of a Mac over most PCs. When designing their products, Apple put a lot of effort into having ones that were high functioning along with being ergonomic and attractive. If you were wondering why most other brands were less expensive than Apple products, this could be the reason. There are many computers that are not only nicely designed, but also Windows-based, and you can find one that appeals to you with a little effort. It is nice to have a computer that looks really good, but there are other things that are way more important.

There will never be a final answer to the question of whether Windows or Mac OS is better. Both have fans, but each has its own set of advantages over the other. You have to carefully consider your own needs and budget and figure out which operating system is most suitable for you.
