Notice how I said Microsoft and not PC when stating what I did. You know why? Well, of course you don't know you cannot read my mind so I shall inform you. ... So really when you are comparing a Mac to a PC you are comparing the two most commonly purchased consumer computers. Second reason is every PC I own (3 of them) with exception of 1, runs Linux over Windows.
Hmm , well you are so far comparing not computers but Software, but generally yes when you tal about Mac and a PC you compare the technical specs of the laptop.
5) Security Access Control, I want to punch Windows in the face when this annoying message pops up.
I agree with you on most points you made, and i would be stupid to disagree on those points, but this one i highlighted above, if you want you could turn it off, plus this is for your protection, any operation that windows does not say the computer can do will mentioned by this SAC. i think it is a very good function. it only pops up when you try to install something or doing something that requires admin privileges.
Total resource hog. Every other OS performs better on less hardware, this is most likely due to many things but the bulk of it is legacy support. Stop supporting software from the 90s, force your customers to upgrade, drop the old legacy code, stream line your OS and make it faster and more efficient.
Disagree, Windows 7 performs as good as Mac OS, or some people may say better. I can tel lyou from first hand experience that Windows 7, worked on my laptop from 2002, and now that laptop to some degree flys. so saying that Windows 7 is total resource hog is very very wrong. i would agree that before windows 7 it was, there is no question there, but windows 7 is very very different.
Next point i have read on a bit and some people talks about viruses, i also have not heard about any actual viruses on Mac, but i think many people would be confused since all the "antiviruses" programs do protect you agains adware, malware, trojans, spyware, so on. although mac may be not be prone to Virus attacks, but it is definetaly prone to trojans, spyware, the rest. and while you so mentioned apple growing in size, hackers start to realise that they gain more from hacking Macs, and then eveyrthing would come out, How really safe are Macs. You say that there was a challenge to hack Mac, if Apple hides an improtant update bulliten, what else do you think they are hiding from us. how much information do you think we, you included do not know about the actual security of both Macs, and Windows. at least we know the risks with Windows and can protect ourselves from it, while macs are kept protected by apple, how long wil that last.
Also you cannot compare windows and mac to others, Linux and so on, ok in the same market, different segments. of course linux would be better running since not using that many resources. linux is not safe compared with microsoft, i read a news articel about how a massive backdoor ( do not really rememebr the details but it was huge) was open into one of the linuxes brother os, i cannot find the article but surely you would remember something like that
