The Big Difference

Today, many people think, that mac's are very similar to the ordinary PC's. Here in this post, I will try to prove, that people who think that, are wrong.
It's correct that newer mac's use Intel processors, which is also used in many ordinary PC's. The Ram used is also similar, the same with motherboard, Grapihcs Processor, Interfaces, Harddisk, actually most of the hardware. But when it comes to the software, there is huge differences.
The Mac OS X Leopard, are much more powerful than Microsofts Windows Vista. In Mac OS X Leopard, all the features of the system are integrated, so you don't need to but a Ultimate version. The core of the system is based on UNIX, a powerful core. The Aqua user interface in Mac OS X, also beats up the Aero user interface.
Besides that, it is a lot faster to navigate in Mac OS X Leopard, Cover Flow makes it easy, Finder makes it fast, and the Dock ensures that programs you use frequently is quick to access.
It is correct that a mac is 10-15 % more expensive than the similar-hardware PC's, but the OS and the design of the computer makes it to a minor problem.
