Coz MAC is much more costier than Windows while Linux comes free. Mac machine's cost starts from around 1 lac. onwards. Mac is basically used for Multimedia purposes coz it is rich in features and have a good configuration. Windows lies nowhere in front of Mac.

Too costly to be a possible student platform; I have started seeing a replacement of Macs by PCs back in high school, there were 1 out of more than 6 computer labs that were outfitted by Macs in college and we all know better to stay away from it except simple Internet or Telnet access.
Mac is now using UNIX core is interesting only from a technical point of view, it was possibly the worst technical POV an OS before the scraping of old Apple code and the move appears to be too late for a franchise rode on a new concept from '70s.

I use all three operating systems, and I personally like Mac the best (although Ubuntu/Linux is definitely my close second). In general, however, Macs are more expensive than a PC of similar specs, and is the main reason why PCs are used more in schools.

We're not using Mac OS because it isn't Free. Linux is free. We're using Windows because Microsoft basially gives its OS to schools and educational systems. Money.
And because Macs kinda suck a lot. But Money is what it boils down to.

CAUSE MAC SUCKS!!!! BWAHAHAHAAAAA
But seriously, Macs cost more, True, Mac OS X is more user friendly, but you can't do nearly as much stuff with it as Windows.
And Linux I would say (although it is nice, and pretty awesome) isn't exactly the best OS for educational purposes.
Thats just my two cents, dont hate me for it.

This question does not make sense. Becuase the latest version of Mac OS is unix based. If you are familiar with Linux/Unix then you are familiar with Mac OS.....
