Windows is the best operating system in my opinion. Good GUI. Windows 7 works great, they have overcome the major drawbacks which they have in windows vista.
Windows, hands down! It's a lot easier to use than Mac. Its interface is user-friendly, even my grandma was able to learn how to use a computer with Windows.
Windows is by far the best in my opinion. The Macintosh OS offers a few good features, but overall, Windows is the most appealing.
All industry around my work used Window....I don't understand people use Mac....only one reason i like it's is laptop it's solid and reliable...that all but too much money to buy....I think most Mac people use just 'show up". with technic these days computer don't need reliable...I can buy cheap laptop used a couple year ....buy orther...hey hey.....just my thinking....
What do you want to do with it? Lets forget speed here because I think its really relative to what apps you're using and what you doing with them. I'd be more incline to list up all the apps you really REALLY need on the Windows side. I'd then look up the mac version (and/or its close equivilant). Check the cost. Look into the possibility of buying VPC (lord knows how many database related programs there are on the PC side that doesn't exist on the mac side). One other key thing to do is definitely find a mac retailer near you and quiz the hell out of them. Be truly satisfied with your decision. This is a pretty serious decision because when it comes down to it, its your money ($1000+ ain't no chump change).
If you are asking this question, you probably never used MAC. Mac does fatality to Windows. But Linux is better than all.
i'm a mac user.the features and some of the application like Pages is really good compared to windows. But if i've given choice, still gonna use windows. why?of course cheaper than mac..
