    I like windows more because more programs work with it, such as Microsoft Programs. But macs are nice for no error messages but windows don't come up with errors messages that much, once in a blue moon unless your have spyware on your computer or viruses. In the long run I like Windows

    I think Mac computers look very unique, but PC's have a huge range of different products to select from. Also, Microsoft doesn't make laptops which allows competition between PC manufacturers whereas a Mac is a Mac is a Mac.
