Mac OS X is more stable, prettier, based on Unix, less bloated, faster, less virus prone, and doesn't suck.  akudood;

They make their money on hardware, which is why they  don't do anything to prevent piracy of their OS on a Mac.  baddood;

One's an operating system that only runs on certain hardware, the others an operating system that can run on almost anything.

I personally like certain aspects of both of them and own both a Macbook, and a Windows machine.

OS X is an operating system, but "Mac" usually refers to the hardware itself, as in an iMac of Macbook.

Right, but the argument is between the names "Mac" and "Windows," not "Mac OS" and "Windows."

That's sad, really sad. It's sad to see someone deny that Windows has changed greatly. That's a screenshot from Windows 98. It's sad to see someone use propaganda on themselves, especially in a debate.

It's also sad to see someone take something so insignificant as something serious enough to be "sad" about it. Get over it.

It only proves to me that the individual in question has issues. Don't tell me that psychological issues are insignificant.
