The document presents the results of a survey about operating system preferences. It finds that compatibility, ease of use, performance, and support are the most important features to respondents. The survey also examines attitudes towards Mac OS and whether recommendations from friends/family influence choices. While 80% of respondents said they would try Mac OS for free, only 35% said they would use Mac if it could be installed on any computer. The survey identifies areas where Mac is lacking compared to importance ratings, such as family ties to Apple and prestige. Trend analyses show Mac receiving less attention than Microsoft in news, search queries, discussions, and social media.
