Windows vs mac
 

What's better and why

PC because price. If you really want OSX you can put it on PC.

Mac for it's pleasurable interface.

Windows is vastly superior to everything. It's dominated the computer market for like two decades.


inb4 fat nerds post mobile OS statistics

Windows trumps mac any day. If you want a free operating system, I'd also suggest getting Ubuntu.

inb4 "linux > both" hipsters

Well you see the amount of problems mac faces are just enough to show that windows dominate it. You can't even play PC graal on it without missing a few things that are needed in PC graal

If you want a free OS, just get the Windows 10 technical preview. You just need a (free) Microsoft account, and it is stable (I've been using it for the past couple months).

I've been using that too. I love Windows 10.

Those are like the super nerds. If I have to read an entire tutorial just to install a single program then the OS may be advanced but complete **** design for a consumer OS.

Yea...
A linux distribution isn't intended to be used by the average ****** consumer. :rolleyes:

That's what Ubuntu was made for though

This is true. :P
Personally, I would still stick to another OS as a regular consumer.

Windows or Mac? What about Windows on your Mac?

This is funny

No, because inferior hardware.

I prefer Mac because I don't care enough about why Windows is better to switch. Most of the things that make Windows superior don't significantly effect me.

I'm obviously not very educated on the specs for either, but I'd think it'd depend on what you plan to do with your computer that'd decide whether Windows or Mac is superior. As someone who uses their computer for browsing the internet, music, and 2 games on Steam it is an absolute waste of time or money to me to look through different Windows computers, questioning which fits my needs when I can actually spend less money on an Apple product.

WindowsXP for me please!
I prefer windows. More user friendly imo and a lot smoother then mac also imo. XP was the best version, and 7, that one was also nice. I can't stand windows 8+. Not user friendly at all and impossible to understand unless you mess around with it foeverrrrrrrrrrr.

hoddle hOddle heee hee.
i vote linux *tips fedora* *grows neckbeard*

How about Mac on your PC

This is false. :rolleyes:

How is a 12 core Intel Xeon or whatever inferior hardware?
They can also come with 64gb ram!!

Don't wast your time on ignorant haters. :P

:) :)

Apple tends to overprice mediocre computers, you get less hardware for what you pay for.

"Apple tends to overprice mediocre computers"
My 1700$ MacBook Air laptop that isn't equipped with a graphics card outperformed my friend's Alienware which is equipped with a graphics card. Both of the computers were tested out of the box. End.

Therefore, your post is mediocre itself. :)

What a quality post, you don't even describe a single specification. Seriously not sure if troll or just dumb.

You must have severe autism.
The comparison here is laptop without a graphics card with a desktop computer equipped by a graphics card...

To prevent further crying, the MacBook Air has an Intel i7 clocked @ 3.3Ghz and the Alienware an i7 too clocked at 4.2Ghz. For the graphics card, I have no clue and don't care much.

If this post doesn't please you then it isn't any of your concerns.
Pass on with life. :P

This information just creates more questions. What performance test did you do? Booting time?

I wish I could be as clueless and wrong yet confident as you are. **** off out of here.

Wat?

To me, OS X is more reliable, smoother, easier and more visually appealing to use, and a lot less annoying. I have both OS X (Yosemite) and Windows 7 on my MacBook Pro. I really only switch over to the Windows partition to use applications that dont have a mac version.

Windows Woes

Yosemite Woes

I'm a bit peeved at my Windows right now.

When it asks you to update your computer on Windows 8/10, it doesn't pop up in a tiny out-of-focus GUI in the corner. Rather, it now dominates the entire screen and immediately steals the focus on it. It gives you two options, one of "yes" or something similar and the other of "no".

It automatically has the "yes" button selected to start, so all you need to do is press enter or any other key (yes, any other key) to get it to start. And as it so happens, I was writing a paper when it popped up. There's literally no reaction time, so the keys I was hitting to type my paper immediately triggered the "yes" button. Then it closed all my programs and shut down before proceeding to "update" for 3 hours. And to make matters worse, it didn't save the document I was writing and it didn't recover it when my computer finally did start up again.

It's almost cause for switching to OS X. I mean yeah, that comes with its own host of issues, but at least it should guarantee that my computer won't shut down and become unusable for several hours without warning at a time I need to be able to use it.

Clocks on a CPU are redundant and purely just a number. I can tell you a thing or two about PC hardware...
Dedicated GPUs and integrated graphics on a CPU are very different... especially performance-wise. Normally you may find more power in a dedicated GPU, yet laptops are consistent of APUs which behold different performance levels and different concepts.
Regardless, Alienware is trash for the money.

lol wtf

Don't waste your breath, he made it quite clear that he doesn't know much about computers.

How can you assume someone has autism from a good question?

How I feel about Windows updates:

Yes.

Windows xp is going to be or already is unsupported April 8th. Not a big deal but still :,c

I'd say Mac. I just bought myself a Macbook Pro 15". I was on Windows and it's not the same world for me. It's way faster and smoother, especially for big projects where windows was slower than my new laptop. But for softwares that only works on Windows, you can always dual boot or download and use a virtual machine.

Concerning Graal, I can play on the client without problems. The RC was made for Mac OS X and I'm leveling with Gonstruct. Everything work perfectly on Mac.

Oh no! Facts! Better resort to name calling.

Recently, I feel like windows has a similar feel to the Mac OS. Ever since Windows 7, I haven't felt a big difference in using either OS for everyday use. I'd always choose windows just for the price/performance ratio, though. Actually being able to play games is nice too.

Problem is Windows 8 costs $199.99 and OS X Yosemite costs nothing. Hackintosh?

Who pays for windows?

I'm not a total computer 101 nerd with all the facts about the internals and externals but I can say windows 7 is ruler of all. It's simple, easy to use, straight forward stuff. You have everything you need on windows 7. You can use it without the "hassle" of using a computer emulator thing to get downloads from windows to mac. Another thing it's compatable with everrything! Mac is so useless when it comes to downloading games and stuff. It all seems limited and bleh.

Just because it's free, doesn't mean it's legal to install on non-apple hardware.

I heard that Windows 10 would be a free upgrade from windows 8 / windows 7.

The difference between the two is that Windows doesn't suck.

EoS

Mac and Windows hardeeharhar more like Mac and Cheese.
