With both Microsoft and Apple releasing new versions of their renowned OS systems, it nice to contemplate and look back at how these two pieces of software faired against each other through the years.
Gizmodo recently feature a head-to-head comparison between Windows and the Mac OS across its various iterations, and while it seemed that Microsoft had the early edge with regards to the eye-candy user interface, it didn’t take long before the Mac OS edged out Windows in this particular category with OS X. Though Vista and Leopard may seem to be on equal ground once more with both operating systems offering superb graphic interfaces, function-wise, it is a completely different story which we’ll reserve for a different time, but for now, check out this head-to-head encounter between the two famed OS.
Personally, I value function more than aesthetics, but let's face it, in the real world, it's the eye-candy which lures more buyers than over all perforance. Just take a look at the Motorola RAZR2 V8, Bang & Olufsen products and countless others which have managed to attract cutomers despite features and performance that aren't up to par with its steep price or in line with its elegant and superb design. I guess it just goes to show, as with relationships, that people still tend to value looks over personality er functionality.

Well, in fairness to Windows since I'm a developer on Mac OS x platform specifically printer drivers there are lots of improvement and new feautres that Leopard offers to the public. I may sound like an Leopard evangelist but I my self hate the Leopard backend bec. it makes our program crash but for Desktop publishing or for editing Leopard OS is the best. It offers the space, the quick look in finder and has a bigger resolution. Well, I love Mac.
I would like to say that I value utility more than a friendly interface, but I would lie if I were to affirm that. The truth is that I am an aesthetics' slave and although I could pick a better driver cure, I will almost always choose the prettier one.
thanks for useful information!

I think that the current process of Virtualization Security will render useless the discussion about which operating system is the best or even comparison between operating systems at all. In the end, no matter what system you have, you can add security to it in order to match your needs.
