Before you jump on my case, hear me out! Mac has revoloutionised the computer industry more than any windows product has. The Mac provides touch screen and is pretty cheap for its worth unlike windows. The graphics it supports is exceptional, it may not run the highest detailed games but can run majority of games better than windows. The software imo that makes the mac what it is, is the web browser "Safari" it is a noob-friendly browser and is so much more simpler to use than the windows default version "Internet Explorer". The mac looks a lot more stylish than windows and it runs more stylish, not to mention there is more gadjets installed. Another thing that justifies my statement is the amount of programs apple can run, such as safari, google chrome, photobooth and Vegas. I don't know if windows can run vegas but I've been told it can't so sorry if sound ignorant. So I'm pretty sure I've justified by statement, please tell me if you agree or disagree I really would like to hear your opinion :)

Apple makes a better OS, its just less supported as its exclusively(officially) tied to their overpriced hardware.

1. Why are you telling us this and not the people in Computer Hardware Discussion? Oh wait, because you'd get laughed at more than here.

That was the worst pro Mac arguement I've ever read and can't run Vegas? Where have you been? My computer can run it just fine.

I believe that this can be determined with a rap battle...

(and yes, Windows can run Vegas... and both together cost less than a Mac.)

Me and Mac:1 Windows:0

Well, I will just number the things I would like to refute:

1) What Mac has a touch screen? iOS =/= OS X, but if you want to compare iOS to Windows, it is no competition as Windows is a full featured OS and iOS is just a smartphone OS (examples being compiling programs, choosing which browser you want, or running networking services)

2) The game support is almost non-existant, which is I will assume is the lack of Direct X (though OpenGL could work if people made their games using it).

3) Safari, to me, is worse than Internet Explorer, but this is mostly a null point: who still uses either? Get Chrome, Opera, or Firefox. Far superior browsers.

4) Far more people write programs to run on Windows. Period. That's it. Sony Vegas runs on Windows, photobooth is proprietary to OS X, but there is software just like it for Windows. Here are some programs that are Windows only: 95% of PC games or Notepad++. Granted, most general programs have an OS X version, but specialized programs tend to only run on Windows unless it is photo editing or video editing, which is where OS X excels.

To me, OS X represents an OS that doesn't break because it doesn't allow you to mess with it much. Windows is far more open to changes and has more programs to run on it. Not to mention the fact that I don't have to pay out the butt for hardware. About the only thing I like about Apple products is their hardware; I simply cannot stand their software. It is overly flashy and is too restricting.

I use both.

Windows is more intuitive. The Mac OS is just too damn clunky and often gets in the way of what you're trying to do.

They both function decently, but I prefer Windows.

Some people would hold differing opinion, although I would argue most people veer towards Windows simply because of familiarity. For me, I've been using Apple products when I was a kid in school, but uses Windows at home. Nowadays, I use Macbooks and iPhones while play games on a Windows gaming rig. Macs have their place, but on a video game forum, be prepared to be laughed at.

It's definitely one of the more advanced Linux distros. Once you've learned Linux well enough, however, there's no better choice. The OS that you end up with on your PC is uniquely yours.

Mac was better than Windows in the 80's and early 90's, but in all honesty only old biased fans and hipsters can say without hesitation that they're better. Nearly everything that can be done on a Mac can be done on Windows for a fraction of the price. Not only that, but just about every program is made for Windows now. Games are near non-existent on Macs for that matter too which lays question to the reason of buying the latest hardware.

I've always been confused as to the supposed affiliation that Apple products have with hipsters. I might sound incredibly stupid saying this (worth the risk), but would the opposite be true for hipsters, given the whole "anti-mainstream" motif that they go by? Apple products are incredibly mainstream, last time I checked.

They are now, but hipsters can't go against the words they spoke all them years ago when they bought there first Apple product. I guess they don't want to be hypocrites.

When it comes to computing on a Mac though, it's clear that's the minorities choice...

I have to say, as others have, that this is the worst pro-mac rant I've ever read. I'm a Mac user. Have been since middle school. I love my Macs that I've had over the years. I also use a Windows machine at work. Windows 7 is by far the best version Microsoft's OS. It actually does a few things I wish OSX would do... little stuff nothing big. Like dragging a window to the top of the screen to expand it. Not a big deal, but it's cool and I like it. On the software front I think both OS's are pretty even these days... except for games. For whatever reason, Mac users have to wait longer for games to be released for OSX. I'm strictly a console gamer, so this doesn't bother me. OP is kind of right on one point though. Apple has completely changed the way the general masses view computing and what a computing device should look like, feel like. It has also made computing much more accessible to the casual user. This is why Apple is having great success now. Everything they worked towards over the last two decades is finally paying off for them. What interests me the most with the new OS's from both sides is the move toward a more mobile device like OS for our desktop and laptop PC's. OSX has made some big moves in this direction with Lion and Mountain Lion. Windows 8 looks to be doing the same. Should be fun.

Safari is also out for Windows.

Vegas as in the video editor originated as a Windows app.

There's nothing that makes a Mac better than Windows. This coming from one who also owns a Mac.

The only thing better on Mac than Windows is the fact it's built on Unix, unfortunately paying for updates and the overall cost of an Apple itself is laughable. Hell OSX makes Windows look good in terms of value and support, when Windows gets a virus Microsoft doesn't try to cover it up instead of fixing it.
