For a Gamer like me,Mac doesn't fit.
I used Mac to edit my AMVs and Montages.
Windows - Windows is not complicated at all,and it is updated with new features automatically at least once every month.
Viruses may be a problem,but if you are smart and you partition your data,and just Format a 13 GB part of the Hard Drive containing the OS,it will take about 5 minutes to Format and half an hour to install the OS.
While all that is being done,you can enjoy a movie or something,this is for all the people saying "Why Format when you can get Mac and not format at all?".
Well,Windows supports all Software,tall games,almost everything that comes out is for Windows.
Now,I want to make clear,the only reason I am not using Ubuntu,is because it doesn't have Game Support and doesn't support Photoshop.
clean desktop is the only thing better than windows? -_-"
I have a feeling that you've never used a mac properly :/
But like you said,if most of what you care about for a comp is to get online and play games than yes,a windows would be your choice.

Re: Windows Or Mac
To be honest, Linux based operating systems are the best overall. As far as Windows vs. OS X, I would say Windows. I dual-boot Ubuntu and Windows, and I have used a Mac before, and on several occasions. The only reason I use Windows in the first place is for games, if not I'd use Ubuntu only.
Everyone saying people don't like Macs because they are hard to use, that is not the case for me. The operating system is boring. Really boring.
As far as viruses go, really, common sense should tell you what will give you viruses and what will not. If you do get a virus, they are not hard to get rid of in most cases.
Also, to Mugen who said it's bad that you have to manually install your software on Windows, that shouldn't be bad unless you're lazy.With different software, comes different features. It gives you choice.
As far as computers go, build your own. It is not hard, seriously, save a ton of money and just build your own. Though Apple has been quite the culprit of over-pricing their computers.

you missed my point about that...Manually installing isnt just bad if your lazy.Sure if your a comp specialist its not a problem,but if your a computer noob than it really is a pain in the ass because your just gonna end up installing a ton of programs that you dont even understand are for, and most are probably going to be useless.Also what I meant by that was,if your computer PC doesnt come with all the default programs and OS than your going to have to buy all of them indevidually,and thats a hell of a lot of money right there.

Re: Windows Or Mac
Or you can just download a linux OS for free. Install it on whatever you have collecting dust in the closet. Install whatever software you need for free with a single command. And, it will still be better than Windows and Mac
