Against XP, OSX was a huge jump into the future when it was released. Now it seems Windows vista was an effort to copy mac OSX, and windows 7 was released as a fix to all the problems windows vista. Windows 7 is alot smaller in disk space than its predecessor, and is smaller than snow leopard. That doesn’t mean it will end up smaller after all the updates, all the service packs. Also, it has a snap window feature that snow leopard doesn’t have, but that is about the end of the features.

My favorite thing about OSX, is that it doesn’t have Viruses, or Spyware, or pop up crap. You almost never need to re-install the OS, and it is simply easy to use.

Take a look at System Restore and Time Machine side by side.

Windows Vista System Restore – The Same as Windows 7

Apple OSX Snow Leopard Time Machine (sorry about the kids voice)

There isn’t anything that I can think of that is better in any way about windows 7.  Now that Snow Leopard is OSX’s 6th year in use, it is still 6 years ahead of Windows 7. Which is kind of ironic since the new windows is labeled 7.

In my personal opinion, I hate using windows at my house, and wish I could afford the iMac, or Mac Book Pro. And that is the only problem with Apple, the cost is too high for those of us that don’t have a large disposable income. So, if you can afford a Mac, and are looking for a new computer, don’t hesitate. The pop up, and spam problems in windows will waste your time.
