i was wondering for the people out there who currently used or use MACS and also have used PCS is it hard to switch over? cause i was thinking im going to college soon and i currently use a PC so i was wondering if i should get a mac when i go to college?
is it that different? cause my friend has a mac and its awesome but i havent really played around with it just to check my email and myspace. but is it hard? or will i get used to it very easily. |

OS X software has much closer integration with the hardware--most software runs better. But in the specific realm of games, the API's on the Macintosh are much nicer to work with, especially ones dealing with graphics. OpenGL on the Mac, for example, has a much better API than on Windows.
As far as Office, I don't know the specifics of performance gains/loss across platform, although I imagine Microsoft doesn't work that hard to make Office X run better than Office for Windows. |
