Windows VS. Mac

Yeah this post was likely to come up, being that computers and every thing there is to do with them is my passion. Anyway today  i heard that Microsoft stole windows from Apple. The first thing i said was what!? Windows is not stolen, like any product there needs to be competition. Back in the mid 80's after the first actually GUI to be available to the masses, many company's followed suit with there own version of the new point and click interface. Of course every  company had one including Microsoft, Amiga, and Atari. But that just pissed me off that every one thinks that Microsoft is some sort of software stealing mega millionaire. Anyway enough ranting, now to the facts. Macs are great for video editing, graphic design and even some casual gaming. Windows on the other hand are great for all these tasks *as long as you have high performance machine. And Windows is the best for hardcore pc gamers. Ultimately the decision is up to you. Macs are great because the os uses very little hardware but cost a lot more. Windows is great because you can build a well rounded machine for under the price off $800. The lesson here is  don't buy a Mac because everyone else "cool" owns one. Learn whats best for your needs and is in your price range! The irony is i typed this on a Mac because my pc was virus scanning.
