Firstly after going through the Pro's and Con's of both, you guys are free to post your views in the comment section below. Now coming to what we feel, definitely we will go with a billion users of Windows. To prove the same we are going to lay down some points :
Compatibility
Windows has and will always give you more hardware choices, and this perhaps is it's greatest strength. PC's give you a lot more choices and capability at less price. You can have the color you want, the size you want and the features you want. You even have an option for a fully customised PC.
On the other hand, Mac's, are only run on a limited set of hardware, mostly which are designed by Apple
Customizability
Windows have always proven this that there are almost a million developers around the globe which use windows for designing and publishing. It has much more open environment for developers.
Windows has a capability to be heavily modified, from XP to Windows 7/8 or form dual-core processor to i7 processor.
As far as games are concerned, windows has been the best for the gamer platform It is a platform for world wide game tournaments. And this is reason why Windows gets much more and much better games as compared to Mac's.
Support
Microsoft has always provided better and secure technical assistance to it's users. In any city around the world you will find much more Windows stores that will provide technical assistance for your PC than you will find for you Mac. And obviously at a much lesser price.
Simplicity
Windows is much much easier to learn as well as to use. Actually if we go by the official data, the Windows has not changed much from the past 20 years or so, though, each new version has its own new features and capabilities, its quick to learn and to use.
The latest change in Windows 8, with its Live Tiles, has taken some off guard. It’s bringing the same look across all of Microsoft’s platforms: PC, tablet, phone, and Xbox. This is just another change that in time will be quickly accepted, and only make the interface more familiar not just with PCs, but all other Microsoft devices.
Price
The price has always been the center of the debate for anything that exists in this world. Same goes for the products that are manufactured by Apple and those by Microsoft. If we go by the logic, Microsoft (with the exception of the Surface tablet) doesn’t make computers. They leave that to their manufacturing partners; the Dells, HPs, Toshibas, and Acers of the world. And every one of these companies provides world class support as well as security for their products using Windows, but the point is that they do it cheaply. The price for which they sell products which have Windows is very low as compared to that of Mac's.
