This document compares Mac and Windows operating systems. It outlines what each OS is, their manufacturers, popular applications, latest versions, supported architectures and languages. It also discusses differences in performance, gaming capabilities, virus protection, and considerations for choosing between the two. In summary: Macs run on Apple hardware and have stable performance while Windows runs on various manufacturers' PCs. Macs have fewer viruses but limited gaming, while Windows has more options for gaming but greater virus risks. Factors like intended use, software needs, and pricing should guide the choice between the two systems.

Which is Better: Mac or Windows?
You should consider a Mac if... You want a machine that just works. You don't mind not being on the . cutting edge of hardware. You don't mind the price premium. You don't mind being locked into Apple's walled garden. Your primary use for the machine is creativity or productivity, such as Word Processing, Creative Design, or Publishing. You should consider a Windows if... You're a gamer. You don't mind performing routine maintenance. You'll be using the device exclusively in an Enterprise environment. You're a power user. You need to run older software or programming code. Your focus is on heavy CPU/GPU tasks, such as CAD or 3D Rendering.
