Apple vs Microsoft?

Question

Hi all,

Can u pls tell me a few advantages/disadvantges of either using apple or microsoft. Which would be a better buy? Thank You

Answer 1

You say Apple Vs Microsoft...... No comparison,
you should say " Apple or an IBM compatible computer.
Mac and Microsoft are software manufacturer.

Now the Cons of buying a Apple/Mac
(1) They are more expensive to buy for the same equivalent IBM compatible system
(2) Repairs are more expensive because they are a stand alone computer and have to be sent back to Apple or an Apple agent,
(3) your tied to Apple/Mac for the life of the computer. for repairs and software,
(4) Software is more expensive, and accessory's are more expensive.

Cons on an IBM compatible system.
depends on which manufactured system you choose to buy
so you would need to check out which manufacturers are the best, for after sales service, this is the main thing to look at,
cheapest is not always the best no matter what is offered with the system.

Now here is the thing to help you along with your choice, Apple are nice looking systems, plenty of eye catching systems, but is that what you want?

Now do you know that with an IBM compatible system you can have a Linux Virtual system that will run OS/X. XP and or Vista at the same time...

Do some research into Linux and what it can do... goto youtube and in the search bar type in Linux vs Mac and watch all the video clips

Linux leaves windows vista in the dark
run Mac OS/X, Do you know that under Linux you can have a Virtual system that will run Windows XP and Vista.

Answer 2

Microsoft:

Apple:

Id Prefer Microsoft
Because
Its Cheaper Alot Than A Mac
