Mac VS. Windows

 With Windows and Mac having two very different operating systems they are very easy to compare and contrast.
  Although OS X doesn't suffer from Apple's "walled garden" philosophy as its mobile counterpart iOS, it's hard to argue that Macs offer as much flexibility as Windows PC. From a hardware standpoint, most Windows PCs let you upgrade whatever you like whereas Macs do not. Windows users also have the benefit of everything being made specifically for them. With software, you'll find Apple drops compatibility with old applications far faster.  With Apple you get what you get and don't pitch a fit.
 Even though PCs are much more customizable in the Mac world there is almost no such thing as a virus.  PCs need lots of antivirus software just to keep there computer running smoothy!  Over all if your are someone who constantly downloads junk Macs are the way to go.
 The simple fact is that Apple produces only five kinds of OS X computer. Two types of laptop, the Mac mini, the iMac all-in-one and the Mac Pro. They are all fine products, and they will satisfy plenty of people's needs. But not by any means all of them.
Missing from that list of Apple products: convertible laptops and tablets, tablets themselves (iPads don't run OS X software), and gaming rigs. You don't get tabletop slabs like the Sony Tap 20. There's no equivalent to the Surface Pro 2 or the Asus Transformer Book T100T.
 Probably the most striking difference between Macs and PCs is in customer satisfaction. In the most recent surveys conducted by both PCWorld and PCMag, readers chose Apple computers over every single brand of PC available. Macs scored high marks in categories like reliability, service experience and even phone hold time. The only category in which Mac scored low was percentage of laptops needing repairs. It didn't seem to matter, though, as Mac also topped the category, "likelihood of recommending."
These high rankings are probably due in part to the way that Apple provides service. At a time when many PC manufacturers have shipped their service centers overseas, Mac users can get face-to-face assistance from a technician at the Genius Bar help desk located in any Apple Store.
 I believe that many people like Apple lots more just because how well they treat their customers.  Say you have a problem understanding the software you can just go to your closest Apple store and they will help you understand your problem.
Gaming is another big reason people like Windows.  With Macs there just isn't many good games out their.  For a true gaming experience you will defiantly need a PC with a very powerful RAM and hardrive that can run games with at least 30 FPS for no lag.
  Basically if you just want the beauty and speed of a Mac but want to run Windows you can get the best of both worlds buy getting a program called Boot camp.  You can easily run Windows with any Mac computer.
