For me, it's mac at home, windows at work. I work mostly in Microsoft Office, and it's just not very good on Mac. Also I prefer the start menu because the way I use it, it has labels so I can see at a glance what document I'm trying to get at. And I can't stand not having tree navigation in finder. Opening two windows to copy something to another folder is super annoying. But for home use with photos and music, I'm quite happy to use mac. The laptops are undoubtedly superior in terms of hardware.

This article is ridiculous because it doesn't mention why these differences exist at all. Like for example Macs don't have window snapping because Microsoft patented that feature back in the Windows Vista days. & Batch file renaming is a Unix thing. I have always liked Exposé and hot corners and also mission control, but many windows users hate it. It's entirely subjective and not at all rational. I guess that's the point of an opinion piece but it really lacks the context that would have made this article informative, just a little research would have been cool.
I really like using MacBooks (for anything other than gaming). My biggest gripe is about how difficult Apple makes them to repair. I need to replace a battery on an old MBP and I’m dreading the dozens of screws and dealing with the adhesive…
