So Windows vs Mac, Finder vs File Explorer, window buttons on the top left vs the top right. all of these are a part of the bigger debate between Windows and Mac. Many people have only ever used Windows and would never consider a mac, or are die hard mac users who haven’t tried Windows in a decade. Well a lot has changed. Windows owns nearly 75% of the market share, but that number is slipping as MacOS has doubled it’s market share in just the past decade. So which is actually the better operating system? I wanted to dig a little bit deeper. I am breaking this down into 8 categories.
