14. You Know, the whole unique
look of Mac does not work
for everyone!! It is
pricey too. Mac doesn’t
have many options for
computer design either.
15. PCs have many
disadvantages too! It
is slow to update their
software. They aren’t
up-to-date like Mac
and there are more
than 114,000 different
kinds of PC viruses.
Windows as a software
can be used by any
computer company,
however Macintosh can
only be used by an
Apple publisher.
16. Security:
Security is a big issue for most
computer users these days,
whether it be opening emails,
surfing the internet, or even
purchasing things. It is a wide
known fact that there are about
1,14,000 viruses out there that can
affect the windows OS, but for
Macintosh there are no known
viruses that can do the damage that
all of these have done to a PC nor
even effect them at all. The last
major virus that was supposed to
come out was the conficker virus,
unfortunately this virus affected no
Mac but it was aimed toward PC
users instead.
17. Support:
When it comes to support, I find it
hard to believe that pc could be as
prestigious and sufficient as Mac is.
Due to the way that the Mac OS is
set up, there is less to jumble
around to find the problem than
what there is with Mac. Also Mac
prides themselves in the reliability
of a good computer, so much that
they offer a insurance that from
what I have seen is far superior to
that of PC. Apple care is not only
cheaper to insure your computer
but the longevity of the insurance
lasts for three years and most
companies for PC only last for
about one year.
18. Price:
Many people are led to believe that
Macintosh computers are either too
expensive or they are not worth the
money that you put into them.
When you look at the styles and
variations that the Mac has, you
will see very few compared to the
variations that its counterparts Dell
and Sony have. This is due to the
fact that although the price could
be much cheaper, this goes along
with the performance of the
computer.

21. Conclusion:
Both Macintosh and Windows have their own
strengths and weaknesses as a Operating System.
The bottom line is, your very own preference and
lifestyle will dictate which of the computer brand is
more compatible to you.
We can’t say which is better Mac OS or Windows
OS, each one have its advantages and
disadvantages, depending on the use of the computer
we can say that this OS is better than that.
