Microsoft vs Mac? Confused!?

Do any of you out there prefer Microsoft products, software, etc? What are its advantages? Why do majority people have PCs and run Microsoft's operating system and office on it? Why would most people have PCs and run Microsoft software when they could have apple/mac which crashes less? Many people says there are more crashes, but can it be that bad when Vista sold 20 million copies in Feburary? Do you like Microsoft products? Why or why not? Thanx to all who reply. My topic for my project is on Microsoft and apparently Im confused on why people do not like the company and its products, as I use a PC with Microsoft software. Show me the light.

Microsoft vs Mac? Confused!?
As with any major product, someone will complain about it. I personally enjoy microsoft and as an answer to the # of crashes....





A computer only does what the user tells it to do





so when 90% of computer owners use microsoft, there is obviously going to be a substantially higher number of crashes and complaints than the mac.





Think of it like our government, many many people do not like it but they live with it anyways because it is simple enough for them to live their lives the way the chooose to.





In conclusion, people just prefer to use microsoft because





A: it is more popular so more people will have problems requiring a big and helpful customer Service.





B: easy and simple to use because it is everywhere





There are no real advantages to using microsoft products over apples other than more people use it creating a bigger market and more products.
Reply:PCs are great if you like the multiple of combinations and types you can build and modify. Macs are great but you pay a premium for any accessories and software is not as prolific. Just look at the net and see what it caters for and you'll see it's 80% PC despite all the bugs you get with Windows. There ARE other operating systems to install on a PC, does Mac do that? So I go with what I know and have built over the years. Get a Mac straight out of box is best you can ever do. You don't go to any average retailer to get Mac stuff. It's almost all proprietary, they don't mention that. Good luck!
Reply:I use PC, but i would way that Mac is better in terms of security. Microsoft is, other people say, 5 years behind from mac technology. Mac also has better interface and is better looking. However, mac is much expensive than PC's.





On the other hand, PC has more software that are made for exclusively for Microsoft. PC can be upgraded much easier than Mac.
Reply:I don't like either.





In my opinion Linux is far more stable and easier to secure and configure to your individual or group needs.
Reply:windows is insecure because almost every virus is made for it


mac is for artist or just working on media stuff but they dont use exe format so is more secure and fast


why confusing,use linux,it has more media and grafical effects,is faster(really,cause i use the 3 OS here)and linux is literally free


u can download it in ubuntu.com or something like that.


normal people use windows because most of the computers come with windows and they are ignorants thinking the only thing they know is the best belive me,windows sucks.
Reply:well a PC can be upgraded easily were a mac must be replaced to upgrade it. i prefer PCs
Reply:You have answered your question in your question itself. Microsoft has a pool of softwares it' own and others also. For any purpose you search Microsoft window supported software you will get but Mac not only limited but comparatively no software support. You ask 10 persons who use window's this question.


If It is .exe in windows than for Mac what it is. .exe stands for executable. In my opinion 90% will not answer that it is .dmg.
