wow, yeah its really fair when you use windows 7 on a mac..use a fucking $1500 pc and put it up against the mac book air. then lets see which is better :)
why would i waste 1200 $ on a mac book pro when my windows 7 pc can do the same stuff ..i tried a mac book pro and i liked but still wayyy too expensive
Why don't they run OS X on a regular PC? Oh wait, Apple won't let you...
It's funny, even on Mac computers which are optimised to run OS X, Windows 7 will still offer better performance than OS X in many aspects such as multimedia, 3D rendering and of course gaming.
Run OS X on a PC optimised for Windows 7 or Linux and there'll be no competition; this is precisely why Apple won't let you do it.
I think it come down to what you are comfortable with because neither can be 'the best' it's what the end use gets out of it. I have a Windows 7 PC, a Mac and a couple of computers running Ubuntu Linux. Personally I think Windows 7 and Mac OS are both good operating systems and Ubuntu is good when you consider that it's free but that's just my opinion, you might disagree with me about Ubuntu and you might disagree with me thinking OSX and Windows 7 are practically equal, I don't care
@vuurwerkl in my experience that is actually complete bull. I'm running an iMac with Snow Leopard and i've never used a more stable OS. Windows is notoriously unstable. YES, Windows 7 is more stable than other versions, but it's far from the most reliable OS out there.
Posh/Spoilt kids mostly use mac but coming from a guy who works and spends his life on a computer, From designing to whatever i would use windows 7 over mac, Mac is good but not compatible with all things windows is and i found windows 7 a tad faster!
My partner and i downloaded Windows7 on my netbook and it runs perfectly. I dled it through Windows7FreeDLXcom (replace X with . ) and it installed fine.
you idiots windows 7 beats snow leopard big time, why don't macboys accept defeat this time just like pc users accepted vistafail. also you CAN'T compare prices, sure windows is $100+ but but PC is $800, snow leopard is $29+ but mac is $1199+!!!

Comparing prices for both OS's is rather odd, seeing as you need to buy a hugely overpriced Mac to even be able to run Snow Leopard. Apple is a hardware company, Microsoft is a software company. That's where the real difference lies.
i will admit that windows has more games but i use a mac every day. And then i use a windows xp gateway, and it's so slow it's like sucking my own dick! im just saying. Mac still kicks goddamned ass!
They don't get it at all. Don't you wanna make stuff too? what about video games? How about downloading any software you want from the internet? There are more options on windows.
win 7 is the better OS overall, BUT since Snow leo is so close a runner up and way cheaper than win7 without all the versions. i would give it the win
How the fuck could you get it that fucking close Microsoft sucks dick I can't do shit on the new os and no one uses it windows 7 is really wat windows 2000 should have been i can't belive the fucking tests you do the moment that apple has a glitch far less fatel the microsoft and microsoft patched a 1in hole in it's 300foot gap you decide to compare them srryously.
i like windows more than leopard because win7 has a great design and the leopard i feel that i'm in trash when look at it ,,, the diffrence in the performance leopard hasn't the best performance win7 is good too,,, win7 is more comfortable to use than leopard
I love how people don't care that Leopard "won" in this Prizefight. Everyone is loving W7.
To me Mac hardly ever changes, sure it might have a slightly new feature but really, at the end of the day, your still getting the same deal over and over.
@ApFaqTech dude! when you use bootcamp to run Windows on a Mac you ARE running a Windows PC! There's absolutely NO performance loss. It runs identical to how it would on a PC with the same exact specs. Therefore the test was PERFECTLY fair. In fact, they seem more biast towards Windows to me. I've NEVER had the lockups on Snow Leopard that they mention. If one 3rd party app goes down, just force quit it and all is good.
@j800r I agree about the first thing you said, in fact, I agree so much that I posted the exact same thing before I realised you already told him (or her)
@ApFaqTech Using the same computer for both is the closest they are going to get to having two equal spec computers. A Mac and a PC are essentially the same and the only difference is the Mac's EFI bios, apart from that it is axactly the same thing as a regular PC and the fact that the computer is made by apple isn't going to make much of a difference if any at all
@AdrianC614 Maybe they could build a pc worth the money a mac costs and then compare the performance.. imo money for hardware is an important factor that none mentions in os battles.
A little question about 7. If I have Vista and I change it and buy 7 will all my stuff be erased? I'm not really good with computers...that's why I'm asking.
wow, yeah its really fair when you use windows 7 on a mac..use a fucking $1500 pc and put it up against the mac book air. then lets see which is better :)

ok winows 7 ultimate cost more than 300€ but if you want have leopard you have to buy 29€ + 900€ for mac -.-
windows works in every computer and microsoft have to take profit selling it 300€.
Leopard no , leopard is Apple like Mac .
The Apple take minimum 900€ when microsoft only 300€ by Operating sistem selling.
Apple talks about "free wolrd ,art" -.- but everything is Apple. in Windows we can personalize every software or hardware , nobody say us "dont do it"
