The real difference is between Windows, and MacOS

1. Think about it. Apple needs to only support hardware they put in their machine. thats a limited number of hardware drivers and possible conflicts that will cause a crash. on the other hand microsoft attempts to include the software and drivers for THOUSANDS of pieces of hardware. not all of which play nice with each other. each of those hardware vendors also releases driver updates that may not play nice with windows

2. MacOS is based on Unix/Linux. Windows was based on DOS. Now MS did a full rewrite with their NT core... so not as much of an issue... however Linux is considered by many? to be a far superior system... with features that still exceed windows. its just not all that user friendly at times. Mac has taken Linux and made it user friendly but retained the features that make linux so awesome. security, file systems, etc

there are tons of reasons why macos is better, imho... and there a few reasons why windows is better... pretty much just got to decide which features mean more to you lol

I use both.

I like the mac interface etc.

I like to play about building PCs (and gaming is fun).

Currently my PC is a lot better than my Macpro as far as processing speed etc. so I'm using a PC for most of my work. Though I'm on a Mac right now (at my part time job).

I use a macbook pro or iPad for the internet. I use a Macpro for photo editing (basic stuff). I use my PC for video editing and heavier photo editing projects.

So whatever, I work of a portable HDD so moving from one computer to the other is fine for me (I have a program that'll let me read NTFS HDDs on Mac).
