Which is better - mac or windows - Windows 7 and leopard or snow leopard?

Answer 1

This question is mostly an opinion, so I will share mine.

I have had many different computers, like Windows 3.1, 95, 98, 2000, ME, XP, Vista, and 7. I have also used and owned Mac OS X Tiger, Puma, Leopard, and Snow Leopard. In my true opinion, Mac beats Windows. Here are my reasons:

Mac Pros:

• VERY fast processors
• easy to use Operating System
• User friendly GUI
• Hardly ever get viruses (I have never got ONE)
• Last for a long time (I still sometimes use my iMac from 1995 and it works like new!)
• Most new ones have high def monitors like iMacs and MacBooks
• Unlike Windows OS upgrades that are hundreds of dollars, Mac OS X upgrades are usually $30 or less.
• Bluetooth and Wi-Fi built into all models (even Mac Mini, Mac Pro, iMac, MacBook)
• Comes with iLife which has iChat (free video chatting), iPhoto (like a Windows Live Photo Gallery), Garageband (music editor and maker), iMovie (advanced video editor), iDVD (Burn DVDs with cool menus), iWeb (create a website, you must pay a yearly fee for a MobileMe subscription), but cool.

Mac Cons:

• $$$$$ The computer costs a lot, but in the long run paying $1,000 for an iMac that you use for 8 years Vs. three $500 Windows computers over 8 years
• You have to get them fixed at a place that fixes Macs, most computer stores only work on PCs.
• Limited Software-Microsoft has over 90% of the world using Windows, so that means less software for Mac.

PC Pros:

• Initially Cheaper to buy
• available to buy everywhere, even Wal-Mart sells them
• Tons of free software available
• Comes with great stuff, but no stuff. (I mean, it comes with Microsoft Works, but they give you little features so you have to buy Microsoft Word).

PC Cons:

• More expensive because eventually after about 3-4 years, they die and you have to buy a new one
• Unless you buy a $1000 Windows computer, they all have slow processors and freeze up like crazy and say (Not Responding) and stay that way for like 10 mins.
• OS (Operating System) upgrades cost around $230-350
• Tons of crashes, my Macs have never frozen or crashed once.

If you want an awesome computer, get a Mac
