Actually, I find the functionality of Mac to be better.

I must say I haven't really used macs enough to make a solid comparison between the two. Perhaps this is why I myself, and the majority of people would tend to gravitate towards windows on this matter, because we are somewhat ignorant to macs, and happily comfortable with windows.

I never saw any need to learn much about macs too because windows has always provided a good enough platform for me.

That's what I thought until I tried a Mac.
