im not trying to start a arguement its just fact, Window will allways rule it has the "head start" its better in more ways than one, and it has millions of cash being pumped into it. unless Linux starts doing that its "open source" will never rival Windows, mac just needs to cheapen down its computer tbh

Well.... I do agree that mac needs to cheapen considerably. The hype they get for NOTHING is really the only thing I have against them. All that THEY ARE THEE BEST EVER is crap. If that wasn't the only reason people buy them, I wouldn't have such a dislike towards them. Notice I don't hate windows, I'm just displeased. I've never been more satisfied by an OS then with linux. Best expercience ever.

I love Windows- I never have problems with it. I hate Macs. I always have problems with them.
The only reason people buy them is because they are expensive. They suck and people think they'll be cool if they buy them. That's why companies can get away with selling crap for super expensive- Like crappy wine, or expensive food, that is the same quality as considerably cheaper food, but is bought regardless just because it's expensive. I can't think of any more examples right now, but you know why I mean. There's tons of things like this.

See, crait has a great point about ease of use and affordability as those things effect computers and operating systems of today. I would say that almost everyone who knows how to operate a computer knows how to operate a Windows PC quite fluently. Mac and Linux (as well as others) tend to be operating systems/ computers that are chosen at a later point in time because of their individual appeal to specific people.
I think crait has a good point that many people buy Mac stuff because it is expensive. He's absolutely correct. One prime example would be that the High School that I graduated from ended up purchasing an entire computer lab full of Macs to the tune of about $1,799.99 each a few years ago for the photography/ film classes. I'd actually compared the specifications that the Mac's had compared to what would have been the equal comparison to purchase parts individually and build the computers based on a Windows operating system. The way I was thinking would require someone to actually assemble the computers, but that's a FAIRLY easy thing to do for someone with experience with system building. The price of the computers that were equal at the time were just a TAD over $600 that could have been built. That's roughly 3 equally-capable Windows-based machines capable of the same software (arguably better) than the Mac's at one third (1/3) the cost. Why did the school buy them? They kinda look neat and are expensive... that's why.
Windows PC's tend to be the most practical. Linux is something that is picked up and learned by select users that either want to learn more about Linux itself, an alternate computing experience, are dirt poor, or truly appreciate the operating system for its open source nature.
No fanboyism here... just the world as I see it.
