It is common to all to think of what are the differences between Mac OS from Apple and Windows versions from Microsoft.When I did a timed search for this I found that the following are the top 10 main notable differences between Mac and Windows.There are many word ways to say these simple 10 in 100lines but I am the one to look the things at glance to save time I write them in simple straight way.But it is the main factor that you understood any five differences between these two to pour into your knowledge ocean .
MAC OS from apple when compared with windows from Microsoft
1) Mac provides security from viruses etc.,(Mac is UNIX based ).But not completely virus protected , it had own some viruses :) .
2)Best suitable for multimedia based applications like photoshop,movie editing etc.,
3)Easy user friendlyness('childlike') within 3 days you will be familiar with Mac If you are new to it.
4)Never allows executable programs to be send as a mail attachments.As outlookexpress from microsoft allows executable programs to be attached to mails and which is the main cause for spreding of viruses.
5)Some what cheap but if you need more functionality you need to buy OSX.
6)You can't listen or able to play music etc., except from Apple site ,thats why it is secure in one
aspect but your world is limited .
7)Administrator is root in Mac but if he is doing some thing regarding security concerns then it
will ask root password. Where as in windows it is administrator who is the final god.
i.e, Mac maintains 2 levels of administrator previlages.
8)To download something in windows operating system from internet it is the browser which ask and controls your downloads by asking your permissions,where as in Mac it is under the complete control of Mac OS by concerning to the permissions for that user(more restricted to do download suspious things).
9)In Mac you can create many common users as like Windows.
10)We can't assure that Mac doesnot affected by viruses as some companies already released some anti-virus software for MAc.Only numorous viruses are found for Mac.
Finally in one word "Mac provides user friendly(like windows),Security(like UNix like systems)
providing operating system you can use it as best for multimedia applications,photoshop creations BUT your entertainment world,download world is limited and some countable viruses are there for Mac".
