Windows vs Mac

The war between Microsoft and Apple started long before you were born and is still raging on today. Many people are preparing to purchase a PC and along with it, an operating system, an OS. The
first thing that comes to mind when it is time to decide is which company to buy it from and usually, the choice is between Windows by Microsoft or a Macbook, from Apple. So let's get down to the pros and cons of each OS. If you make it to the end, you can reward yourself with a pat on the back and might even get cake. ------->

WINDOWS OS

The Windows OS was released on Novembe
r 20, 1985 making it a pioneer of OS history. From then to now, the OS has undergone numerous upgrades, overhauls and even failures (*cough*Windows Vista). Today, Windows offers ex
tensive flexibility in its software and uses making it favorable for many customers. It has more software available that any other platform and offers great backwards compatibility. Backwards Compatibility is the ability to support older versions of software. For example, it is possible that you can run Windows 7 if you are currently using Windows 10. Security and the change of getting a computer virus increases however because now you're one of the big boys on the block and are a target to those wanting your sweet, succulent personal information.

Particularly, the gaming community seems to love using this OS as it allows for greater disk storage space as well as RAM allowing for plenty of graphics detailing and a smooth frame rate. This is a blessing for those who want to upgrade their graphics card that is a toaster shoved violently into your PC. Windows is also compatible with all games designed for use on a computer/laptop. Who doesn't like playing on "Ultra" graphics mode with 147 FPS?

MAC OS

The MAC OS is much younger than Windows. Its release date is March 24, 2001. The MAC OS is used specifically on computers and/or laptops made by Apple. The most common form of the OS is on the laptop, referred to as a Macbook. The OS is more user friendly and you quickly get used to it after learning the basics. Not like in Windows where you accidentally press "f12" when browsing and a bunch of code pops up out of nowhere making the experience not so enjoyable. However, professional Windows users have mastered the ancient art of the "f12" button and are said to have control over all four seasons and the UNLIMITED POWER OF THE UNIVERSE! Okay maybe not the last parts. On the other hand, once you have gotten the hang of it, there is not much more you can do. Sadly, no "f12" superpowers for you. A silver lining to all this; your OS is much less likely to succumb to viruses and security issues thus lowering the amount of maintenance and a smoother experience.

THE END

Here, we arrive at the end of this comparison. To briefly summarize, if you wish to get the most bang for your buck, Windows can provide it all, and much more. However, if you prefer a more user friendly interface and high security, go for a MAC. Now get out there and go treat yourself to a cake!
