Mac vs Windows??

Windows, although Mac tends to be used alot more in the sciences.

Windows 7 looks good :)

I have a place in my heart for all OS's :)

I admittedly only use Windows for games and nothing will convince me that it's good for anything else, so it's not that big of a loss if I don't have it on my PC.

OSX may only be for Macintosh's which really bogs down its popularity, but the good thing is the programmers only have to worry about an extremely limited set of hardware which eliminates a lot of bugs and makes it easy for third party software to develop for the platform (Maya, Photoshop, etc). The other plus about OSX is that it is very friendly for people who have little experience with anything that has a CPU in it.

Linux is my "Everything else" OS. I personally like Gentoo the most. You have to manually build it from the ground up (you don't have a GUI that has you click next, next, next) and installing software takes a while since everything is compiled, but you have tons and tons of documentation to help and Gentoo's repository is MASSIVE. Gentoo is extremely customizable so it can fit to what you want or need, but it's admittedly getting old and is probably going to be replaced by Exherbo in the coming years.

You'll find that simplistic GUI's are the lifeblood of any mass-marketed OS. The average person doesn't want to fiddle with computer settings, he/she simply wants to get work done and then call it a day, with minimal headache. Abstraction is part of intelligent software design.fiscope

Maybe he meant academic teachers

I like windows more, but that's because I am more familiar with it.

Windows.

Mac is fine but I'm already used to Windows, since I've used it my whole life and I'm just used to the layout of it and the way everything works and where everything is located, especially.

Windows. It's all I have used every sense I have had a computer.

[QUOTE="fiscope"][QUOTE="AdrianWerner"]huh...rly?

windows

but windows i think is rigged to crash once every month

Windows

Mac OS is just...funky. And it takes a lot longer to do stuff; its tedious to work with Mac OS.

Also, no games. At least relative to windows.

[QUOTE="fiscope"] I was shocked too. I imagined Linux or Windows would dominate the science, seeing as how both are less flash than OSX.fiscope

Windows OWNS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I prefer Windows.

I've used both, and I found Windows a little better.

Nobody question me. Windows.
