I will go into more detail if needed, assuming all this detail isnt enough for you.
Windows is universes better than Mac in every single way, and this isn't just coming from someone who jumped on a bandwagon with no knowledge. I've owned a Mac before and have even used lots of other Mac computers at friends houses and etc. I know Macs. And they are TERRIBLE! Switiching from a Mac to a PC long ago was one of the best desicions I have ever made in my life. First, the whole layout of the Mac is very disorganized and confusing. One of my best friends (who is a mac user) even agrees with me contantly complaining about how hard it is to open programs and how they often crash/close out and is very frustrated. Second, Macs are very underpowered compared to PC. Sure there are some old or budget PC's that dont have the specs, but my custom PC with its 4 YEAR OLD PARTS can do things that 3 MACS TOGETHER couldn't! Third, Windows is the OS that is the most supported with overall programs. I have literally seen 2 programs IN MY ENTIRE LIFE that were Mac only and there wasnt ANY way to make them PC compatible (emulator/user extension).
I have seen statements such as "Oh yeah? Mac is WAY better for gaming" or "Even if it isnt good for gaming, its MUCH better for design than Windows!" and I think "Oh how wrong they are...". I have tested various software on Mac's as well as PC and PC ALWAYS comes out on top. Photoshop, After Effects, and Flash all ran better on PC and were so much smoother with the workflow. Blender was almost unusable on my friends Mac, and FL STUDIO DOESNT EVEN SUPPORT MAC YET! (There is a beta going on, but its buggy, and most of the plugins still don't support it)
There is SO MUCH MORE I could write about this, but I'll stop it here for now. If you guys want more, just ask.
