Windows are More customizable: Change the desktop theme – including wallpaper,
taskbar, window styles and fonts – to anything you like. Try doing that on a Mac.
Windows Pcs are much more compatble : The windows are beating by the macs by
over 100%. This means that all your softwares or perhiprials (Ig: cameras, usb drive and
other things) may not work on a mac
Easier file manager : In windows it is easy to find a file anywhere on your pc where as in
a mac if it’s not on the homescreen, unless you’re very mac savy or atleast used to the os,
it’s a huge hassle to find
