Mac VS Windows

Mac OSX

This post is about the two most known Operating Systems (OS). An OS performs basic tasks like input of the keyboard and mouse, sending output to the monitor and file tracking. Basically the OS is what runs your computer. First we will start with Mac. The Mac OS or OSX is made by Apple. OSX is a very secure OS but is very limited in what the user can do. It almost forces you to do things one way (Usually the simplest way). This makes it harder to do things and make it harder for developers to make programs for OSX. Most programs for OSX are made by Apple. This makes Apple more money but makes the Macs have less freedom of choice when it comes to programs. Most programs nowadays are also made for OSX not just windows. OSX also doesn't have many games. OSX also gives you the ability to install Windows on it as well but it doesn't run as good on a Mac as it does on a dedicated windows PC. Overall Mac is a good OS. It gives the user security at the cost of freedom. It isn't as developer friendly because it is hard to make programs for it meaning their is a lack of games and non apple programs on it but it is a very clean and simply look. Next is windows. Windows gives you almost unlimited freedom but is harder to use for people that are new to computers because of this freedom. Windows is made by Microsoft but is on different companies computers. Windows 7 (The newest version of Windows) doesn't get that many viruses but it is more common on Windows than on a Mac. Almost ever program that is made is for Windows. This gives the user the choice of more programs. Unlike OSX, Windows does not give you the ability the install OSX on it. You can still install other OS's like Ubuntu or other variants of Linux. Overall Windows is a more universal OS that gives the user the ability to do almost anything but gets more viruses than mac (Not a big deal considering how little viruses Windows gets) and it is harder to use because of this freedom. There are other OS's like Linux and Ubuntu but if you want to learn about those then you need to look them up yourself. If you are wondering why I choose to highlight Windows and OSX, it is because they are the two most common OS's and they come default on almost every computer.
