| − | What People Ought to Know about the Windows V Mac OS Debate
| |
| | | | |
| − | Compared to the computers that were selling only a few years ago, whether you use a Windows or Mac OS, you have a much more powerful and faster computer today. You should look at each system, to see what they have, before you decide which to purchase. To make the right decision on what computer to buy, you need information, so we are comparing the operating systems of both Windows and Mac.

| − | For anyone concerned about security, the best choice is not Windows. Users of Windows are well-know to have most of the computer viruses directed at them. Most people who use a computer have Windows, so it is only logical they would get most viruses, but Mac users, for some unknown reason, are less vulnerable. It doesn't seem to matter what attacks computers, even spyware and malware, it is more with Windows. If you choose to get a Windows OS, then it means that you will be needing to have anti-virus software that always needs to be updated, which will cost you time and money. The threats will be much fewer when you have a Mac, but it is still wise to take precautions. There are hackers and scam artists, who are trying to get your personal data, so it is up to you to protect yourself by being aware of what people are trying to do. There are many issues that would never happen, if you used common sense, and it doesn't matter what computer.

| − | After the cost, Windows' biggest advantage is the wide variety of choices that are available and they way you can customize things. When you choose Macs, you will only ever deal with a single corporation: Apple. PCs, however, are made by a lot of different companies--some are very well known and others are less so.

| − | What makes this an advantage is that, if you want to, it affords you the opportunity to put your computer together one piece at a time. This makes it possible, for example, to go online and build a customized system which isn't just better for your budget, it helps you save money and allows you to make sure that you are getting just exactly what you want and need. Macs come with plenty of their own benefits, but buying one pretty much commits you to whatever is in the box.

| − | If you regularly use computers at school or at work, it's very likely that they are going to be running the Windows OS. If this is actually the case, then getting your own Windows OS computer is probably going to be a lot more convenient for you because you'll be able to use the same programs at home. For example, sharing files with people who have Windows based PCs is much harder when you have a Mac OS for your computer. It's easier than it has ever been to move between Macs and PCs because there is more software compatibility than ever and because if you have a Mac you can use Bootcamp to help your computer run like a Windows based PC. However, if you mainly have to work with programs and files that are Windows based, there's probably no advantage for you to get a Mac. Even though Macs are more popular today than ever before, most schools, corporations and large organizations still use Windows.

| − | There are any number of reasons you might prefer Windows or Mac OS over the other. We've looked at some of the basics (budget, preferences, needs, etc) and benefits of both so that, hopefully, you'll have an easier time choosing between them. Depending on the way you'll be using your computer, how much you want to spend and what type of design and interface you prefer, you may end up liking either Mac or Windows OS better.
