Which is much better: Mac OS or Windows OS? I just want to know the advantages and disadvantages of having a windows or mac OS because i'm planning to switch on either of these operating systems to keep my pc protected. Any idea?

If u wanna have protection , u should switch to Linux..Because Linux has more protection from all viruses and the virus attack on any Linux OS is very very small, moreover u no need to install any Anti virus program in Linux . Now the difference between Mac and Windows.. First of all, MAC is available only in Apple Computers, u cannot install MAC in any other systems than the Apple, where u can install Windows in any Machine. For protection u need to install an antivirus package in windows.. MAC looks pretty nice and it's graphics version will be excellent.. Windows 7 is quite excellent now days with it's advanced features!!!!

Thank you so much for the information! ^_^ The Linux OS is not quite popular in my place but I've heard that it's more user friendly than MAC or Windows. By the way, talking about the price... Is MAC more expensive than Windows? Because if it is, then I'll try using Windows 7 then.

Definitely , Apple is expensive...Remember u don't pay for MAC when u are buying hardware of Apple... If u wanna have a Desktop Apple it will come around $2000-a better configuration.. Otherwise, u could buy other hardware devices and install Windows 7 ..Windows comes around $300...Various packs are available with less and more price range.... Whereas Linux comes for free----It's an open source operating system!!!!! U can download , u can install and u can rotate to others, the best in class is UBUNTU!!!!

I haven't heard a lot from Linux yet, but I know a friend of mine who uses Linux Ubuntu.. Unfortunately, I'm really not into computer operating systems as I'm only an End-user who often use the internet and do word documents. Linux is a different OS which might take time for me operate it well.. I guess I'd just stick to windows if that's the case.. Anyway thank you so much for all the information. I might change my mind in the future. I'll try to see how Linux works..
