Windows

Now, as you all know, I am a big Mac fan. But let's talk about Windows a bit. Windows is made by Microsoft. It has been the most popular operating system since the 80s. Honestly, Windows is NOT as good as Mac OS X for different reasons, one of the main reasons why I LOVE Macs is because they basically do not get viruses. Windows is always plagued with viruses.

My family owns 2 Windows computers. We have a HP Pavilion Elite, it's a pretty nice computer that runs Windows 7. The other one is basically my computer. It's a eMachines T3508 running XP. It is my secondary computer, my iBook G4 is my main computer. My family abandoned it after it became too noisy. I resurrected it by installing a clean copy of XP and replacing a noisy fan. It still isn't as quiet as my iBook, but its a great secondary computer.

Sometimes, when my iBook is downloading something big, or processing a movie, I will use my eMachines as my web browser. It actually is a better web browser then my iBook, but it only has 384mbs of RAM (LOL) so opening a tab or multitasking is painfully slow. Once I get my hands on a 1 gbs RAM chip for my PC, it's gonna be pretty fast. Other then that, I use my PC to play chess and burn DVDs, I also use it as my Minecraft Server :) when I play minecraft on my iBook!

Windows is a nice operating system as long as you are not with a virus. It is pretty fast, but the interface is not as good as Mac OS X. Overall I would rate Windows 6.5/10. Windows supports much more applications, but lacks a nice interface and is riddled with viruses.

But not bad. I still wouldn't use my eMachines as my main machine for 2 days. It's so slow, sometimes you just want to rip the screen off. :/

I still would recommend you getting a mac though :)
