On a related note, I still find it odd that some macOS apps makes you drag a disk image to the Applications folder, and thatвЂ™s just one of at least three different ways to install apps on a Mac. That said, you can find plenty of good general business software for Macs, and Windows actually boasts more options in some creative areas, such as video editing and photo software.Д«oth operating systems offer app stores that manage installation and updating, but sadly the app developers havenвЂ™t given the attention to these desktop stores the way they have to their mobile counterparts. Custom business applications are more likely to be supported on Windows, and macOS is prevalent in creative fields.

It also throws in the awesome GarageBandВ music composition app and a full productivity suite.ДЄDVERTISEMENT Third-Party Software CompatibilityД«oth platforms have had time to develop rich ecosystems of software and services. But macOS includes a superior video editor, a preview utility, and a streaming music service. Microsoft throws in nifty Sticky Notes, Skype, Translator, and Xbox gaming apps. You get decent mail clients, calendars, calculators, photo and video viewers and editors, screenshot tools, voice recorders, and web browsers, and apps for maps, cameras, news, weather, and contacts.

Windows gives you a lot more leeway in configuring a system with the components you want, and more flexibility to upgrade later.Д«oth operating systems offer a wealth of built-in utilities and apps. ThereвЂ™s also a wider array of Windows-friendly peripherals to choose from.ДЄs for internal components-things like the CPU, graphics card, and storage-thereвЂ™s no contest. To those, you can add nontraditional options like the HoloLens, VR headsets, and the Raspberry Pi, which can all also run Windows 10. The issue is that selection is not only pricey, but itвЂ™s also dwarfed by the availability of an enormously diverse array of Windows PCs. You can also use Launchpad icon to page through and start apps.ДЄpple offers some great computer hardware options, with gorgeous industrial design on Macbooks, optional 5K screens on iMacs, and the new, massively powerful Mac Pro (starting at $5,999). ThereвЂ™s nothing similar in macOS, but you can pin frequently used apps to your Dock, head to the Applications folder, or set up your desktop with icons for your most-used programs and files. Once youвЂ™ve booted the OS, Windows has the Start button and menu to access your most-used apps, settings, and documents. If you donвЂ™t have hardware thatвЂ™s compatible with either of those features, Windows will also accept a PIN. Windows Hello also supports fingerprint readers, available on laptops such as the HP Spectre 13. Face login is probably the coolest, and is available on most higher-end PCs, including all SurfaceВ devices.

Both automatically recognize and install drivers for standard hardware peripherals such as mice, keyboards, and storage.ДЄDVERTISEMENT Logging In and Getting StartedД«oth systems offer login options that go beyond the traditional act of simply signing in on your desktop. Apple installs updates through the System Preferences instead of in the Mac App Store. Microsoft lets you install the OS with your voice using Cortana.

YouвЂ™ll miss out on syncing machines, voice assistants, app roaming, messages, and a whole lot of other goodies by not signing in.

You can use both without signing in to an account with Apple or Microsoft, but both offer a richer experience if you do. IвЂ™m not a Mac or Apple hater by a long shot.Д«oth OSes offer clear and polished setup processes. I am, however, an iPhone devotee, and as a software reviewer, I have lots of experience on Macs. In the spirit of full disclosure, like more than 80 percentВ of the desktop and laptop world, I am primarily a WindowsВ user. People on both sides of the OS war probably just arenвЂ™t aware of what the other side has to offer, and some of them may be curious about it. I dread the disgruntled comments, emails, and tweets headed my way because of this comparison, but hear me out.
