Apple’s recently released Mac OS X Lion is doing pretty well, with 1 million copies sold in
its first day of availability. Since we’ve had the chance to taste a
piece of the new operating system, it’s time we compare the newly
arrived with the popular leader, Microsoft’s Windows 7.
One of Apple’s main advantages over Windows is the Mac App store, which
offers users the chance to download a wide range of applications
straight from the platform. For the time being, Microsoft lacks the
feature.
When it comes to Web browsing, Lion has another plus: its built in
browser, Safari is faster than Microsoft’s Internet Explorer and has a
more attractive design. Coming to support Apple’s idea that the future
of computing is the multitouch technology, Mac OS X Lion supports a full
range of multitouch gestures.
Microsoft has managed to improve the security of its operating system
and Windows 7 truly is more secure than any previous version. But
Apple’s new Lion isn’t doing bad either; the platform is particularly
designed for average users to feel safe, whenever they face any sort of
security problem.
Another Mac OS X Lion plus is the Resume and Versions feature, thanks to
which users can go back where they left off after restarting their
computers or applications or to different versions of a file.
When it comes to polish and refinement, Lion wins again. Although
Windows 7 is better than XP or Vista, it still doesn’t reach the level
of refinement of Mac OS X Lion.
Being far more affordable than the $100 Windows 7, Lion is only $29.99
and is available digitally, at Mac App store. Plus, users might get
confused when deciding to buy a Windows 7, since it comes in so many
versions, from Starter to Ultimate. With Mac Lion, it’s a all-in-one
option.
That being said, Microsoft should watch out for the new comer.
Please suggest what I should Use.......???????
