Apple vs Microsoft Round 2: Operating Systems

Round 2 Operating Systems, Windows vs Mac OS X

1. Windows is the made it possible for the everyday person to own a personal computer, and also easy to use. Microsoft 1 point

2. Macs have a clean layout with a slick look and futuristic feeling, and always seem to be one upping Windows with different ideas. 1 point Apple

3. Widgets. 1 point Apple

4. Although it rarely happens as much, Windows is much more likely to freeze or crash, yet Apple builds up much attention on the fact that they never crash or anything to that sort. MacBookPro.....all the time, weird Chinesse handwriting comes up with English underneath telling me to hold down the power key. That's weird. Even

5. Dashboard and Expose features on Macs. 1 point Apple

6. It's nice to know where your files are located, and although Windows has organized their files pretty well recently; OS X has got them beat on this. There are like 10 folders in all. 1 point Apple

7. Features that come with a Mac are shown off quite a lot---> iMovie, iPhoto, iTunes, iDvd, GarageBand, Photo Booth, and iChat...Windows also has a bunch of stuff that some may over look. Overall you might get about 20 more programs with a PC, stuff that you would rarely use, and if so you would probably want to buy a more professional version. PC's programs are like advertisments. You will realize this if you get a medium or low price one and around 1 million different random applications and advertisments on it. Macs have got them beat on this part though. 3 points Apple

8. Macs have what you need and no extra junk when you start it up. 1 point Apple

9. Windows have a picture viewer that opens up quickly and allows for you to scan through the pictures in that folder without having to open a whole large program with all your pictures in it. 1 point Microsoft

10. You can customize Windows and make it fit for you. 1 points Microsoft

11. All programs run on Windows. 1 points Microsoft

12. Right-click?----- 1 point Microsoft

13. Macs aren't prone to many viruses, if any at all. 2 points Apple

14. Microsoft Vista has a lot of OS X features that they brag about. 2 points Apple

15. Microsoft is the standard setting for all of us, and Office is great. 2 points Microsoft (Please don't ask about OpenOffice this does not involve Linux)

16. Copy and paste on a Mac...Forget about it. Microsoft 1 point

17. Installition on Macs...what is that about. Microsoft 1 point

18. Where are all the applications. Microsoft 1 point

19. I grew up on Windows, now have a Mac with OS X....it crashes quite a lot, freezes once a week, and iPhoto takes around 5 minutes to load everytime. Every program slows down when I click on things or when I copy and paste. I understand its the new Intel/MacBookPro, but for the price I paid it should fly threw programs like nothing I have ever seen, it also has the power to do so. Yet, my PC with half the power renders special effects and picture images just as fast. ??? Weird. 2 points Microsoft.

20. Macs are easier to use concept...I don't think so. 1 point Microsoft.


13 points Microsoft Windows 12 points Apple OS X

Winner Microsoft, barely
