For many, many years, Apple and Microsoft fought a very public advertising war comparing the Mac and the PC via figureheads on TV with the PC shown as boring and the Mac as cool.
It’s very common for the PC community to label Mac users as people who prefer form over function, but in reality that couldn’t be farther from the truth. I work for a very large IT company and have relationships with some of the biggest vendors in the world. In my experience it is the hardcore techies in these companies who are Mac users (and directors but for different reasons).
I use both operating systems on a daily basis and these each have their benefits and uses. However, my desktop operating system of choice is Mac OSX for the following reasons:
My main PC is a 2008 Mac Pro that I bought second hand about 7 years ago. It has 2 Xeon processors and I’ve added an nVidia GTX 970 and 32GB of memory. It feels as fast as any of my other PC’s despite the age and is a joy to use. It cost me £1200.
