Making the Case for Windows

Laptop Magazine recently asked the question “Would you recommend a Mac to someone looking to buy a Notebook?”. One of the so-called “experts” was so wrong with his answer, I couldn’t stay quiet and let it go. Al Gillen stated:
It depends on what that person is planning on doing with his or her system. If it’s needed for e-mail or business applications, I would recommend Windows, as it has Microsoft Office. If it’s needed for entertainment, I would recommend the Mac.
WHAT?! How could anybody respect the opinion of someone who didn’t realize that (a) there’s a Microsoft Office for OS X, (b) there are open source Microsoft Office alternatives available for OS X, and (c) email can be retrieved and stored on any operating system.
A few days ago, I published ten solid reasons you’d want to buy a machine with Microsoft Windows and/or stick with the OS altogether. I tried to be as honest and direct as possible, given that the reasons are shared outwardly by Windows users themselves.
If you’re thinking about switching operating systems, make sure you do your research and make an informed decision. Don’t let others’ opinions make the choice for you… especially if those opinions aren’t even accurate. Want to embed this video on your own site, blog, or forum? Use this code or download the video:
