HI all, i know it has been an endless debate between windows and mac. I wanted opinions of many people and how they think about these two different platforms. Personally I prefer Windows for work and study while i prefer Macs for leisure and other mutimedia purposes. I also think that Microsoft is doing a great job because almost 95% of all computers use windows. Mac is getting more and more popular nowadays. What do you think?

neither i go for linux and it seems like mac has incorporated the open source platform in the past and windows is trying to incorporate it now so i guess hands down it would be linux for me oh yeah

I think that linux is pretty good, but I does take some getting used to. You also have to find the right build of Linux for your skill level in computing and command line.

I don't know anything about Macintosh. I just read it just as my knowledge in computer subject. I never use it and neither bought it. All computer that I have ever used was Windows based. All of computer in my office has Windows operating system, both original and pirated edition . I think Windows is the most famous operating system in my country (I don't know out there).

True, windows is the most popular in my country too. Mac is a totally different world, you cant find the buttons for ctrl+alt+del in a mac lol. :D. It's more towards multimedia and enterainment

Hi hatley :D Windows Xp is probably the most stable and reliable of all the windows OS's. I don't really know about windows 7 and I have been using Windows Xp for the past 15 years, ever since I was a child. I never felt like leaving XP. I feels to be at home

I think that Macintosh wins. It is simpler to use and there is only one known virus for Macintosh computers, just in case you worry about that. Plus, most media companies use Apple computers, so you have better media programs for it.

yes, that's true. Macs rarely get viruses and spyware but windows has to go the extra mile to prevent viruses and stuff like that. I once heard that there are about 114,000 known viruses for the windows PC
