I think apple is alright. Mac OSX is pretty good but absolutely does not compare to the Windows task-bar oriented computing. And of course, you can press certain buttons to make certain things come forward or whatever, but the Mac experience is no where as personable, and satisfying as Windows.

And I've used both, fairly extensively.

On the other hand, Windows needs to stop bundling stupid shit, and work on satisfying the consumer, rather than trying to promote their SHITTY media player, and file formats.

I've used Macs before... and I *really* don't like them.  I mean sure they're sort of pretty, but other than that....

Well, everyone bundles shit with their product. I mean, think of it this way.

If you have the choice of throwing in a text file viewer, sound player, and video player on your standard package, or NOT, which has more appeal to the broad market? Most users use WMP because it's already there. If they had to download something, they might handle it, but they also might just fail.

WMP itself isn't a horrible player. Just the fact that you need a trillion codecs to run a simple video.

'Mac' and 'Windows' run on the same architecture. For the most part.

I've never had many problems... but that's only because MS has the power to mass market WMP, and thusly, people begin using it. Now that people use it widely enough, I rarely come in contact with a condec I don't have. I don't downloda too many movies though, so that would be it.

If I had to choose between an Apple OS and a Microsoft OS, I'll probably choose the Apple one.  I'd still prefer Linux since it's open, secure, stable and featureful.

Depends on what you are going to use the computer for. But for everyday use, Windows. Easily.
