Microsoft preceded Apple by about a year and, unlike Apple, has dominated the computer market with phenomenal success essentially since its inception. Becoming famous primarily with Windows 95, Microsoft has a long history of being top dog in the computing world. It’s had its share of mistakes with some of its products (Windows ME, Windows Vista, Windows 8), but that hasn’t stopped them from seeing unprecedented success. Known for machines that can get down to business, computers running a Windows operating system are still the standard for offices both home and corporate across the world today. While Microsoft was the first to incorporate, Apple was the one to invent the GUI-based technology we’ve all come to know and love.
Mac is better than Windows. Just watch the video and see for yourself Music: #Mac #Windows #Comparison. Category Science & Technology; Show more Show less. Apr 04, 2008 I am a recent switcher, been using windows PCs for 10+ years. The mac is much better mainly because of OS X (the operating system). Right now I am using an older 24' imac 2.1ghz core 2 duo 2.5gb ram. And this thing flies.
If it wasn’t for them, we might all still be using DOS prompts to get things done (though, that might mean we’d all be a little more tech-literate, if you’re looking for a silver lining). It took Microsoft a full two years to replicate this system, and since then, it has been the standard for nearly every operating system on the market.
Apple hasn’t always been the successful technology juggernaut that it is today. In fact, they had to bring back founder Steve Jobs to breathe life back into the company, and that he did. With the iMac, the company regained profitability and began to take its place as a true household name. After that, products like the iPod, iTunes, and of course the iPhone, have turned Apple into one of the world’s most profitable companies.
In the end, there’s no clear victor in this computing contest. Speaking to his experience as a Pixar animator, Craig Good said: “Most administration, management, storyboarding, painting, motion graphics, sound and picture editing are done on Macs. Some people in accounting and a few other specialties have to use Windows.” The competition between the two companies has created incredible products like the iPad and the Microsoft Surface. It may be that this fight will continue to rage into the future, with no one claiming “King of the Hill” status. There are just too many variables to consider (and we haven’t even mentioned Linux yet), so your best bet is to choose which kind of computer, or best fits your needs. A good computer is an indispensable tool when it comes to earning a college degree. That’s why new Stevens-Henager College students receive a tablet for the first day of classes and a laptop when they begin their fourth module.
And, with a selection of classes both on campus and online, it’s never been easier to earn a degree. To learn more. MAC Infographic.
Best Answer: This really can depend on how good you are with technology. If you are someone who doesn't know much about computers or laptops mac is definitely for you, mac is an easy operating system to use.
If you are into tech windows pc is the right choice for you, on pc you can make it last for a very long time. This can be done by changing many parts in the pc case/box which can help you make it last. So overall it depends on how you are going to use and how good you are with using technology.

I feel that if your biggest problem with windows is the viruses, maybe your problem isnt the operating system but the user his or herself, not being smart. One big advantage with pcs are that if you build your own from scratch, you really can save a lot of money and get much better perfomance. My $1200 custom built gaming rig will out perform any macintosh laptop on the market for $1200 in every way, shape, and form other than memory storage. The biggest advantage that apple has (which really isnt that big in my opinion) is the speed in which you can store data using their custom pci-e flash storage. Macs are very well built. You wont have to repair them much as long as you dont abuse them.
But that small privilage is only worth that pretty penny to someone that isnt extremely tech savvy. Im 13 years old, and have experiience with both. In my opinion, Pc is a better way to go for more techinichal things. If you want a pc for everyday use, even a $500 laptop may be a better choice than a mac, but it really just all depends what you are using it for (. I hope you are happy with whatever decision you make. Answered by J Aaron Z from San Bernardino.

Aug 12, 2015. Until about a a year ago I had always used a Windows based machine, and in my work environment I still do. However for home use I switched to an iMac about a year ago. Surprisingly the reason for the change was believe it or no related to cost. How can that be you say when comparing the two the Apple products are close to twice as expensive as PCs? Over the last 6 years I have gone through 4 Windows based machines.
Every one of them started to slow down after about 6 months due to the garbage that infects Windows machines. I also started seeing the infamous Blue Screen of Death which would often wipe out hours of work.
One unit had a screen failure. I tried various anti malware and anti virus programs which while running in the background would slow the machine down to a snails pace After much research I ended up purchasing a refurbished iMacabout a year ago. To date I have never seen a blue screen of death, or suffered a crash, the iMac is as fast today as the day I purchased it, actually it is faster since I upgraded the memory from 8 to 24Mb. Since I do a lot of photo work. Cost-wise based on my experience so far, I will have this machine for at least 8 years, based on my previous PC experience I would have purchased 6 Windows based machines. One Mac is a lot less expensive than 5 or 6 Windows based PCs. The one precaution that I do have to mention is the fact that if you have been or are using a Windows based machine you have to go through about a one month learning curve to transition to the Mac.
Other than that the choice is a no-brainer. Answered by Janene H from Bernalillo. Apr 28, 2015.
