Microsoft Windows 8 Versus Mac OS X

Microsoft Windows 8 and Mac OS X are two different animals, operating on a variety of elements with differences as clear as Apples (literally and figuratively) and oranges.

Windows machines are inexpensive while Macs are expensive.

There are fervent Windows users and there are just as fervent Mac users. Yet, for comparison sake, lets take them on together and pit them against one another, what gives? read more
