Let’s discuss what author “Keir Thomas” said in the article.
Apple has been giving OS X for free since 2013, whereas windows is allowing customers with window 7 and up to upgrade to windows 10 at free of cost. It is not free for new customers. Microsoft has introduced app store in windows 8 to purchase applications but ignored most user’s favorite "Start" button. Windows free games like Minesweeper and solitaire are not free in windows 10. You will get surprised to see some features like Windows DVD …show more content…

The desktops OSX and Windows 10 are very similar, but the commands are quite different.

Do not disturb notification on OS X will stop the notifications for a chosen period of time. Windows 10 splits out full screen working to a dedicated tablet mode. This mode can be switched on and off. This is little irksome in case of small screen laptops.

Apple offers number of great features, the Airdrop features allows the user to share the files across all apple devices. This is a great and favorite feature for many of the customers. Windows do not have this feature. The new OS X allows users to send SMS and make calls to any mobiles using your mobile phone number.

I am a good user, customer and almost loved all windows versions except Windows VISTA and Windows 8. I am not sure about architectural design changes in windows VISTA but it was very slow when compared to earlier versions, I had to use it until Windows 7 available in the market. Windows 7 was a one of my favorite (until today). I have thoroughly used windows 7. Then again another disappointment with the new release of windows 8. Windows 8 is the one of the most disappointed version until today. I have removed windows 8 and moved back to windows 7, and upgraded to windows 10 mid of this year. Compared to windows 8, Windows 10 is very good. I believe, Microsoft combined features of windows 7+windows 8 and made windows 10. I am planning to move to Mac. I have recently started thinking of moving to Mac as many of my friends are talking about the best features and performance of apple OS. Microsoft was the first choice of operating systems for home PC and office work stations before Windows 8. Windows 8 made people to think and look for alternatives. There are few more reasons why people are moving away from Windows. The installation is a nightmare. I have faced the same issue many times in my life. My system worked fine and drivers were good in windows 7, but after upgrading with windows 10, some devices were not installed properly and I could not use few devices. Windows blue screen issue still an issue, sometimes you have to lose
