Macs are created for a specific audience. The faggots who sit at home, playing with photoshop and making shitty rave music days on end. They're not made for gaming. They're not made for programming or customizing. It's made for doing a few strict things. Like making stuff or editing stuff. Want to do something else? Fuck you, you get to do it when Apple decides to launch a fucking new OS with that as an added feature.
Windows is made for the majority of computer users out there. It's made to be simple, efficient, and stable, while still being advanced enough for you to do practically anything you want to do with it. Windows is not made to be editable by any other than Microsoft themselves.
Now Linux. Linux is the most versatile one out there. Linux is made to be edited and optimized by the community. Linux is made as a core, and then the community can build onto that and issue it in distributions. That makes you able to do whatever you want with it. Want to make an OS with nothing but a display for harddrive space? Do it. Want to make an OS which has features that allows you to control an entire network through console inputs? Do it.
TL;DR
Mac is simple and restrictive, but has fixed hardware that can't be replaced. Windows is simple, unrestrictive, but depends on the user to manage, upgrade, and replace hardware. Linux is simple, completely without any restrictions at all, and can be optimized to utilize little to no hardware.
And remember kids, this comes from a guy that's been studying this shit for a few years now. Guess what? I already knew this. | |

Good for you. I'm just posting it so that people who're arguing over which operating system is better will realise that it's a matter of opinion and how you use it. | |
