What are the advantages of Mac and Windows - unbiased answer needed?

Windows is software made by Microsoft that can be installed on almost any computer, even a Mac*. A *Mac is a computer. They run their own operating system but can also run as a dual pboot or via virtualiation, a Windows OS within the Mac OS environment. Windows is not restricted to any particular manufacturer and so the choice of PC is endless. There's also way more software available for a Windows PC and so interoperability is greater. Macs generally are very aesthetically pleasing, more so than any Windows machine and have solid reliability. A lot of software has a Windows and a Mac version. Macs (Macbook, iMac, etc) tend to be favoured by coffee shop wifi hoggers (joke...ahem!) and graphic designers (largely for historical reasons). Many PC (Windows) users are now moving to Macs for their aesthetics and because of the compatibility of software/ease of use/reliability. Macs tend to be several times more expensive than their PC (Windows) counterparts.
