The problem with people understanding between Windows and Mac




The article above, shows some of the typical issues from a person using a Mac and how he switched to PC. I wish that more of this articles will show up to tell those users that MAC are NOT perfect. Some may still disagree with me (I wish those people do really find out rather than listening to from others who have no detail knowledge of it). Its like over the year people are still debating about it and they feel confident that its the best. I have personally tried Mac for a while due to visiting some clients to fix their smart home problem and have experience the pain from a Window User.

Here are my findings with reasons.

Mac has virus and spyware
Yes and and I mean it. There have been articles popping out now and then mentioning about in terms of urgency to release a patch for Mac. The most recent one which is just weeks ago was mentioning about Bitcoin Trojan. In my findings, I found out that this part of irresponsible education is brought up by the sales people who have no detail knowledge about the product, which in term the user believes it and spread this information via word of mouth.

Mac are not quite affordable
While some may agree or disagree depending on their usage. Some may just need word processor some may need more. Frankly, Mac prices has been coming down a bit lately but in terms of specification on hardware comparisons, Windows still rules. Tell me how many hardware are there is compatible with Mac? My friend told me that even AntiVirus cost 3 times more than the Window version.

Mac offer lesser choice for software and hardware
Whatever most of the things you can find on Mac, Windows has it. I said most. While there are still some software do not offer on Windows but then, Windows have tons of similar product so you can picked your choice.

Mac offer lesser gaming experience
While more games are coming for Mac but then if you are talking about cutting edge games that are the latest generations. It will still be Windows because in developing games, Windows are the base environment to start working on. They would not have the time to do bug fixing for Mac until later date.

Mac must use devices that support Apple only in order to work flawlessly
This is true if you bought everything from Apple it will work flawless but then it also depends. I remember having a headache fixing my client iphotos sync to icloud. it does not get replicated for all the machines. I cannot really remember what i did to resolve the issue.

Mac offers intuitive interfaces & innovations.
Mac does really great job at marketing and making the interface more attractive than Windows but then alot of misinformation has been spread to those Mac users to think Apple are always the first to come out with innovative product. Every time when my friends explain how good is it, I will try to reason it but not too far as you know. Apple user have these weird strong ego...

This following article also shows a very constructive feedback from the community regarding the differences which is similar to what I found.
