Apple Or Microsoft

[__Deatheater__]

Hello please post down below and explain which is better Apple or Windows.

 

 

 

 

Btw I'm for Windows.

Why do you need to start yet another war on the oldest conflict in the book?

 

Windows, btw

Hello please post down below and explain which is better Apple or Windows.

depends on use case, i use both every day, and i really enjoy them both. (look in my sig for specs)

[samcool55]

Windows, because fuck Apple.

 

Wtf is with their explorer stuff? I mean windows explorer is logic and gives you access to everthing in a logic way, i tried to understand apple's way, but i couldn't get used to it.

 

I mean taking a look at files of a game is like rocket science, something difficult in can't do.

[LogicalDrm]

Ehm, you can't make that comparison. Apple is company with many products. Windows is operating system. So if you want to compare companys, it will be Apple vs Microsoft. Or for OS' OSX/iOS vs Windows.

I do not care really. Just wondering which gets better in peoples eye's.

Yeah me too.

 

I use OSX just as much as I do Windows.

 

They're both great.

 

For work I use OSX and for home I use Windows.

 

OSX = programming/developing web API's/web browsing.

 

Windows = Basically Gaming/internet browsing.

 

Also I like Ubuntu a lot too. But that's mostly server stuff.

 

Ubuntu Desktop 15.04 is really nice. But it lacks the game support for me to switch from Windows.

[manikyath]

personal preference.

 

sidenote: you're comparing an operating system to a company. if you're gonna make a poll, at least think about it...

 

EDIT: sneaky OP edit changed "windows" to "microsoft"

where's linux?

[__Deatheater__]

where's linux?

You want it added?

[Bsmith]

i use both on a daily base, both got their own pro's and con's, so yeah this is going to end up in a flame war most likely

[mikat]

Yeah me too.

yes.

 

osx = school (microsoft office, webbrowsing, programming, reading and editing pdfs (osx really beats windows here))

windows = home (gaming, webbrowsing and sometimes editing videos)

[OPSJono]

Windows, because fuck Apple.

No, you're just ignorant and didn't take the time to learn OSX.

 

I bet you had a comparatively small amount of time spent on OSX compared to Windows?

 

If you actually learn the ins and outs of OSX you can access anything you damn well want.

 

And a lot of things are actually easier for power users. (apart from the toggle of showing/hiding hidden files)

 

Also the OSX Terminal is the best terminal. No question about it.

Yup.

 

where's linux?

amirite?!?!

[manikyath]

yes.

 

osx = school (microsoft office, webbrowsing, programming, reading and editing pdfs (osx really beats windows here))

windows = home (gaming, webbrowsing and sometimes editing videos)

i have to add i saw a guy play skyrim in class on a macbook air, and it actually ran fine, for hours, on battery...

[OPSJono]

yes.

Yep. This.

 

I use Windows for the things you need horsepower for (gaming and video creating). and a Macbook air for coding/ssh server management, which doesn't require so much horsepower.

 

Also things like Photoshop and Illustrator on both.

Oh wow really.

 

I'm surprised, I'm on a (2013) MBA now, and it can only run casual games like Peggle.

[__Deatheater__]

Just added Linux for you guys.

Screw terminal, i don't like DOS

 

I gave it a try, multiple times, i tried to copy some mods into a game for 4 HOURS and for some stupid reason it wasn't possible.

It was legit a copy paste task on windows, but in OSX it's a nightmare and i just gave up, took me half an hour to figure out how to get into the game files.

 

Also, in windows documents are in C:\Users\username, in OSX you can't do that in an easy way! it's always a very long way around to get there, i mean an explorer is like the most basic thing and the OSX logic is like, i don't get it. A right mouse button would help a lot!

[mikat]

Oh wow really.

i am jealous, i have 60 gb of storage.. in 2013 apple realised 60 gb was not enough and upgraded to 128... ;( i cri every tiem

[Sauron]

You want it added?

 

sure

[Dabombinable]

On a side note, Linux with Windows set-up in a VM alongside GPU passthrough-fuck the BS most people go through with Windows.

[rtpb5642]

Finder sucks.

I used OSX for a over a month and got to know it pretty well

Its not bad, but the way file management works, installing programs, and modifying registry is just not for me

 

I prefer to have all the system files in one place so that I can just modify which one I want

And not have to use a terminal for low-level modifications

 

Oh and btw for programming and terminal linux is way better than OSX

And I know because I used linux for 3 years
