ParticipantMicrosoft Windows and macOS are my favorites since I have never heard of Linux. Microsoft Windows and macOS are both famous operating systems allow computers to run user applications Allows you to store information in files, connect with the world, and more. Both use a graphical user interface and both have command-line tools. Windows is a group of various proprietary graphical operating systems which is provided by Microsoft Incorporation. macOS stands for Macintosh Operating System. It is a series of proprietary graphical operating systems which is provided by Apple Incorporation. Firstly, they are developed by different companies. Microsoft is made by Microsoft Incorporation, and macOS is made by Apple Incorporation. And Microsoft Windows was published in 1985, which 16 years later macOS is launched. For Microsoft Windows, it was made to design for various different PC companies. But macOS was just made to design for their own company. Right now, the latest version for Microsoft Windows is Windows 10, and macOS has a 10.15.1 version for the latest version. Both of them are for workstations and personal computers. And nowadays why Microsoft Windows is more famous and well-used by people is that the Mac hasn’t gained more share in the computer market is the perceived lack of software written for the operating system. Apple is well known for designing personal computers and entertainment devices such as the iPod. The product has gone through a series of developments to meet the needs of consumers. Conversely, Microsoft is known when it comes to operating systems and applications such as Windows and Office.

ParticipantThe major differences between IOS and Android are their arrangements and their style. IOS is more simplistic, neat, and simple. While android may not be simplistic, neat, simple, it in my opinion can get work done faster. Because of its fast speed, android can process things really fast. Despite all that, IOS keeps you organized and ready. Another major difference between Android and IOS is their price. Android comes in many different shapes and sizes. For example Vivo, Samsung, Oppo and etc. While IOS comes only in Apple. So that gives android a plus one. Another difference there is that IOS can get way more customized than android. For example, IOS 13 lets you change almost everything. For example, you can set a sound effect when the phone is plugged in or out. Now let us talk about the basic features of the two. the basic functions of iOS and Android are alike. Both the iOS and Android phones have a calling, messaging, web browsing, video chat, maps, voice commands, etc. The user interfaces of iOS and Android have a lot of similarities. Both of them support swiping, tapping, pinching and zooming, etc on their phone screens. Now that we have covered basically something all phones must have, let us talk about their differences. IOS is a secure walled garden, while Android is an open mess. The apps that run on iPhones are more strictly controlled by Apple. After all, on an iPhone, you can download apps only from the App Store, while on Android smartphones you can get apps from anywhere you like. So to conclude, I believe, or at least in my opinion, I believe that IOS is better because it is more simplistic and can organize fast.

ParticipantWindows is used for workstations, personal computers, media centers, tablets and embedded systems.Windows is a group of various proprietary graphical operating systems which is provided by Microsoft Incorporation. It is also known as Microsoft Windows. It currently includes Windows NT and Windows IoT as members of its family. Earlier it included Windows 9x, Windows Mobile and Windows Phone which are no longer in use. It is the most used operating system in personal computers. The first version of Windows was launched by Microsoft in 1985. The most recent version of Windows for personal computers is Windows 10. MacOS, its target system type is workstation, personal computers and embedded systems. macOS is a series of proprietary graphical operating systems which is provided by Apple Incorporation. It was earlier known as Mac OS X and later OS X. It is specifically designed for Apple mac computers. It is based on the Unix operating system. It was developed using C, C++, Objective-C, assembly language and Swift. It is the second most used operating system in personal computers after Windows. The first version of macOS was launched by Apple in 2001. The latest stable version of macOS is 10.15.1 which is also known as Catalina. The software available for macOS is just so much better than what’s available for Windows. Not only do most companies make and update their macOS software first (hello, GoPro), but the Mac versions by and large work better than their Windows counterparts. Some programs you can’t even get for Windows. Windows is designed for PCs for all companies, but macOS is specifically designed for Apple Mac computers. Windows was launched in 1985 and macOS was launched in 2001. Windows was developed and is owned by Microsoft Incorporation. MacOS was developed and is owned by Apple Incorporation.

ParticipantMy favorite is Microsoft Windows because It is supported by a wide range of IT programmers in the world and many of them are supported by various hardware from computer networks. And also the interface is very easy to use.

ParticipantBoth MacOS and Windows 10 have clear and perfect tips. Both systems provide a secure login option. You can easily log in to Mac with your fingerprint. You can easily log in to Mac with your fingerprint. But Windows 10 face login, fingerprint reader can also use PIN to log in. Apple provides some computer hardware options, but Windows common printers, scanners, office equipment and some relatively new devices can run Windows provides more options for the use of system hardware configuration. Windows PCs have more malware than Macs including ransomware, spyware, botnets and old-fashioned viruses. My favorite is Microsoft Windows.

ParticipantI think the most popular among the three would most notably be Microsoft Windows and MacOS due to their credibility and basic functionality that’s really basic and easy to use when using a computer. Microsoft Windows and Mac0S are really popular these days also because of their flexibility and ability to enchance and present a whole new online and simple experience to the users to use a simple computer programmed by an operating system. Let’s first talk about Microsoft Windows. First of all I’d say that Microsoft Windows would be my favorite and would still maybe choose it if I had the choice to pick between the two. I would do this mainly because I’ve been used to Windows all my life and it’s really simple and basic to use, or at least start using. Mac has its security system which is an inbuilt feature whereas for Windows we need to buy separately. Mac is mostly used for graphics and multimedia whereas as Windows is for business purposes approximately. Macs are costlier than Windows. Most of these differences also circulate throughout mac0S being more expensive than window PCs meanwhile most window PCs are better for gamers.

ParticipantI will choose windows I can’t choose more cause IDK what to talk about the other things. Windows have many good things because Gaming on Windows is simply better, Beyond just changing your wallpaper and accent color you can do a lot to Windows both functionally and aesthetically. And the Windows software is the best because it has evolved over time.

ParticipantApple Inc. creates Mac, which is part of the Unix, Macintosh OS family. C, c++, c-objective, and swift assembly language are used to create macOS. Mac is currently available in 39 languages. The Aqua (Graphic) User Interface on the Mac is based on a hybrid kernel. MacOS was previously known as Mac OS X. Mac was first released on March 24, 2001, which is nearly 20 years ago. The most recent Mac release was macOS 11.0, also known as Big Sur, which was released on November 19th, 2020. The most recent Mac beta release was on November 17th, 2020, which was a beta version of Big Sur.
Windows was designed, developed, and created by Microsoft, Inc. On November 20, 1985, the first version of Windows was released, making it 35 years old. The most recent version of Windows (20H2) is Windows 10, which was released on November 30, 2020. Windows is available in 138 languages, which is far more than the number of languages available on the Mac. Windows IoT and Windows NT are part of the Windows family, which includes no longer-supported versions of Windows 9x, Windows Mobile, and Windows Phone. Windows is primarily used for personal computers, but it is also increasingly used in offices for business purposes.

The macOS operating system is a collection of proprietary graphical operating systems developed by Apple Incorporation. It was previously known as Mac OS X, and then OS X. It’s made exclusively for Apple Mac computers. Unix is used as the operating system. It was built using C, C++, Objective-C, assembly language, and Swift. It is the second most popular operating system for personal computers, after Windows. In 2001, Apple released the first version of macOS. The most recent stable version of macOS is 10.15.1, also known as Catalina. The interface is what distinguishes Mac from Windows. Windows has a feature-rich but complicated interface, whereas Mac has a simple and subtle interface. You can run Windows on a Mac, but not simultaneously. I prefer Windows for school work because there are easy and free functions to use.

ParticipantMy favorite is Windows because, to be honest, I have never used any of them except for Windows. For example, you can use Windows to browse the Internet, check email, edit digital photos, listen to music, play games, and more. Windows is also used in many offices because it provides access to productivity tools such as calendars, word processors, and spreadsheets. Microsoft Windows, also called Windows and Windows OS, computer operating system (OS) developed by Microsoft Corporation to run personal computers (PCs).

ParticipantIf I would pick I will go for windows and ios because I only use these two operating systems. Windows and ios are very similar, but the only difference would be the system’s layout. The user interface is different between windows and ios, and both operating will have different types of security systems. If I’d need to choose either Windows or ios, I would go for windows because I am used to the interface and the layout of the windows, and I’ve been windows for a long time. Some day I would like to try using ios on computers. I think they both have pros and cons between each other, and I would say they are both solid operating systems. Windows PCs are more for people who play games, and ios are better for designing, photoshopping photo editing, and overall better battery life. If you play games you should go for windows, but if you don’t play games and instead focus on heavy work you should go for ios. Windows have been up and running for nearly 36 years now, and ios started in 2007, so windows will have more experience in their operating system.

ParticipantWindows are more affordable, easier to upgrade, and compatible with more software. The Windows platform is the most upgradeable of the two and, because there are so many tutorials, guides, and how-tos, it’s also the easiest to upgrade. And Macs simplify the user experience, resulting in a high-end machine that both looks and performs well. However, Apple doesn’t design Macs to be upgraded, and upgrading Macs that are is difficult due to the way they’re built. The RAM on some MacBooks is soldered to the motherboard, so upgrading isn’t an option. In my opinion, Windows are better.

ParticipantI will choose macOS since I have been using Mac for past 5 years. The Mac operating system is simple to pick up. When working with a Mac, the convenience of usage is incredible. I will most likely use a Mac once and then never consider switching. The file system is very excellent, allowing you to quickly access anything you require. It has excellent feature and massive use of technology with time to time new updates which is fascinating.

ParticipantMy favorite is the macos system. The reason is that my dad is an Apple fan and our family only has Apple products. This resulted in me having never used Android and Windows. Although it is my favorite system, I think the Apple system is too closed, not open and free enough. Although I don’t need an open system. But it’s sad that many of the features that Android can use are not Apple.
