All windows based , Microsoft you pay for...Mac you pay for both through the nose... mac is another version of Linux
both MS and Mac systems your tied too for everything and you pay the price
Linux leaves Microsoft in the dark ages it is a far more advanced operating system and all the software also comes free...there is well over 27,000 software packages, you can download off the internet. free including games,
All Linux commercial software up data are also free, so you get the best of both worlds with Linux,
check linux out why pay when you can get it free
