Windows Or Mac

Easy to use? O_O
I had both windows and macs for many years and for my entire life of having both,and having to talk to computer specialists I never heard anyone call windows "easy to use" :/
Software
No offense,but having to install manually 3D software,media, antivireses and other shiz which all cost a hell of a lot of money aside from the OS itself(thats of course presuming that it didnt come with your laptop), all are a pain in the ass.
Vires
Oh my god how much of a pain in the ass this is.Macs dont have viruses,at least not killer ones.Windows on the other hand has a whole army of vireses which can attack you from any website at anytime.And of course you could say "get a good anti-virus", well no.Just like good anti-viruses, viruses themselves are constantly updated by idiots and new ones are created by even more idiots.So if I were to say, than 90% of the viruses still bypass even the best anti-viruses.
simplicity
Bad,good
Windows- software is installed manually,menu/configuration is really hard to find for beginners, most software/games that are most useful are on windows,
Macs- software already comes with it INSTALLED, menu/configuration is easy to find, a lot of useful software/games are not on here
so overall,my vote goes to the macs all the way U_U
no your not,I am with you!!! :T_T:Im all on my own here.
Of course everyone will vote for what they are using.
I have used Mac and Windows for the same amount of time.
Mac - The Clean Desktop is about the one thing that is better than Windows.
For a Gamer like me,Mac doesn't fit.
I used Mac to edit my AMVs and Montages.
Windows - Windows is not complicated at all,and it is updated with new features automatically at least once every month.
Viruses may be a problem,but if you are smart and you partition your data,and just Format a 13 GB part of the Hard Drive containing the OS,it will take about 5 minutes to Format and half an hour to install the OS.
While all that is being done,you can enjoy a movie or something,this is for all the people saying "Why Format when you can get Mac and not format at all?".
Well,Windows supports all Software,tall games,almost everything that comes out is for Windows.
Now,I want to make clear,the only reason I am not using Ubuntu,is because it doesn't have Game Support and doesn't support Photoshop.

I have a feeling that you've never used a mac properly :/
But like you said,if most of what you care about for a comp is to get online and play games than yes,a windows would be your choice.

To be honest, Linux based operating systems are the best overall. As far as Windows vs. OS X, I would say Windows. I dual-boot Ubuntu and Windows, and I have used a Mac before, and on several occasions. The only reason I use Windows in the first place is for games, if not I'd use Ubuntu only.
Everyone saying people don't like Macs because they are hard to use, that is not the case for me. The operating system is boring. Really boring.
As far as viruses go, really, common sense should tell you what will give you viruses and what will not. If you do get a virus, they are not hard to get rid of in most cases.
Also, to Mugen who said it's bad that you have to manually install your software on Windows, that shouldn't be bad unless you're lazy.With different software, comes different features. It gives you choice.
As far as computers go, build your own. It is not hard, seriously, save a ton of money and just build your own. Though Apple has been quite the culprit of over-pricing their computers.

you missed my point about that...Manually installing isnt just bad if your lazy.Sure if your a comp specialist its not a problem,but if your a computer noob than it really is a pain in the ass because your just gonna end up installing a ton of programs that you dont even understand are for, and most are probably going to be useless.Also what I meant by that was,if your computer PC doesnt come with all the default programs and OS than your going to have to buy all of them indevidually,and thats a hell of a lot of money right there.
Or you can just download a linux OS for free. Install it on whatever you have collecting dust in the closet. Install whatever software you need for free with a single command. And, it will still be better than Windows and Mac
