When it comes to operating systems, there are only two that stand out; and it even seems there are really only a couple of OS that exists. First is the very ubiquitous Microsoft Windows and other the higher-end Apple Macintosh. Most desktop computers, laptops and notebook computers run only on those two operating systems; the rest, like Linux, Ubuntu and others, are relegated to the outskirts of the computer industry. Users only have to choose between Windows or Mac. Of course, both operating systems have their pros and cons; and essentially it is only a choice between going with the flow or being one of the few. To go into the details, the following is a discussion of Mac vs PC, as well as their comparison and overview of their general distinguishing features.
The ubiquitous Microsoft Windows first. It is a generally accepted fact that there are more PC users than Macintosh (and others) users; and therefore Windows users don't have much problem when it comes to compatibility issues. This a huge positive point for PC. It means there are more softwares, hardwares, programs and games that are designed for Windows; and this adds more color to the computer experience. Programmers and gamers should prefer this more widely-used operating system than the quite exclusive Mac. Not only that, the wide selection of computer stuff available for PC also entails that one can upgrade, customize and mix and match into whatever the user fancies. Of the Mac vs PC bout, the Windows score in this aspect.
However, all Microsoft Windows users have their own horror stories of viruses, malwares, adwares and the loathed Blue Screen of Death. Yes, the PC is actually more vulnerable to them than any other operating system. These malignant things are designed to spread like fire en masse (that's what a virus means in the first place); and therefore most are made for Windows because of the larger number of users. This scores a negative point in the Mac vs PC question. But of course, such problems can be remedied but at a costly and inconvenient price. Windows computers need more maintenance and upgrades than Apple computers.
Now for the higher end Macintosh. Basically, Mac-powered machines have more edge when it comes to performance and security; it is these aspects that Apple garners huge scores in the Mac vs PC bout. Viruses and maleficent bits and bytes, usually specifically designed for Windows, simply won't work in a Macintosh environment. The reason is that there are less Mac users. Its better security then means better performance, not to mention the fact that Apple always throws in more advanced technologies on their product lines.
But the Mac also has some bad points. Because it has less users, it then has less compatible softwares, programs and games. It won't be less than right to say that there are only a handful of things one can do on a Mac computer; not to mention system tweaks and modifications are quite limited (or even restricted) in it. Programmers and gamers are more likely to shun, despite their beautiful interfaces and looks, Apple computers.
