How humiliating for MAC users, "Who Cares" is beating them by miles. Whoo, Go "Who Cares", you are the best OS ever!

A Mac is a PC. I believe the poll meant to say "Windows". It also forgot about Linux, Unix, Ubuntu and the like.

Windows has more versatility hardware-ways, and it is the main platform for computer based gaming.

PC stands for Personal Computer. People say that Mac isn't a PC and only Windows is. I have to agree with Kaleb702 Games, because Macs ARE Personal Computers. Please change the poll.

I say windows. because a lot of downloads, games and programs around ether aren't supported with Mac or take longer than windows to get
there update uploaded, like for example Gamemaker. and I dont think they had it for mac a few years ago. there are some programs I know dont
work with mac so I would NEVER! get a mac computer.

Mac, for quite a few reasons. Some are as follows:
1. I don't like Bill Gates. Additionally, I like Apple in general. I'd rather my money go to Apple than to Microsoft.
2. The interface... I've used a PC on Windows 95, Windows 2000, and Windows XP... then switched to Mac. Mac is better. Then I tried out Windows 7... and Mac is still better.
3. Macs are less prone to viruses, spyware, adware, malware in general, etc. (doesn't matter if this is due to Macs being designed better or simply because less people try to destroy the Mac... fact is that Macs are less prone to this sort of stuff)
4. Start-up time... My Mac trumps my PC (and my PC has less files and stuff taking up space)

The only downside that I've seen with Mac is that it cannot run Windows software (without Wine or using Windows through the Mac)... however, this problem is avoided by the fact that I really don't need any Windows software.
But PCs have this exact same problem in reverse... only difference is that not as much software is exclusively Mac than exclusively Windows.

But if you have a Mac computer and you happen to own a copy of Windows then you can install Windows on the Mac. However, you cannot install Mac on a PC.
Yeah, it's more expensive (since Mac computers are more expensive in general and you'd have to buy 2 operating systems), but the Mac is at least capable of running Windows stuff if you need it to...

I'm the opposite.

Guys, Windows have been known as PCs, whereas computers with Mac OS have been known as Macs, for quite a while.

But can't "PC" also refer to any non-mobile computer not made by Apple at all, even if it is running Unix or Linux or something rather than Windows? Or am I mistaken?

I have an old Apple II computer with no operating system at all... don't think that counts as a Mac or a PC, lol. It can use "Applesoft BASIC" (a language made by Microsoft and used on the Apple... pretty unbelievable, lol)

I'm a proud user of Who Cares? Every time I go to google search something, the first thing that pops up is
"Who the * cares?"
Then, a few seconds later,
"Oh, you."
Then it loads whatever I searched. Does the same thing for websites.

1. I don't like Bill Gates. Additionally, I like Apple in general. I'd rather my money go to Apple than to Microsoft.

That isn't exactly the same as not liking Barack Obama and not voting for him...but I can understand where you're coming from.

2. The interface... I've used a PC on Windows 95, Windows 2000, and Windows XP... then switched to Mac. Mac is better. Then I tried out Windows 7... and Mac is still better.

A Mac interface is quite different. To me it doesn't matter too much.

3. Macs are less prone to viruses, spyware, adware, malware in general, etc. (doesn't matter if this is due to Macs being designed better or simply because less people try to destroy the Mac... fact is that Macs are less prone to this sort of stuff)

NOD32

4. Start-up time... My Mac trumps my PC (and my PC has less files and stuff taking up space)

Patience is a virtue.

I'm not supporting Windows, and everyone has the right to hold to their own opinion. You like Windows? Cool story bro. You like Mac? Cool story bro. You like pi? Even cooler story bro. You like being a pirate? Not cool story bro.

I just like the feel of Windows better. It might be because I'm more familiar with it, but Windows seems so much more...accessible, I guess, whereas Mac is just so sterile. I'm also not a huge fan of the way that Mac handles multiple programs being open at once, Windows's taskbar is so much easier. Fundamental things like that, y'know? Windows all the way.
