Without a second thought, Microsoft and Windows is the way to go. All the way from my Pentium 1 with 4x CD rom using Windows 98, to WindowsNT, Windows2000, to Windows XP. I have definitely been a long time user of Windows, and as far as i'm concerned, it definitely does the job. The user-friendly interface sure beats the huge thumbnails and icons and this weird high-ram usage bubbly moving interface. I have to admit, Vista has become more like Mac, but there still leaves the compatibility issues. A majority of today's freeware, games, downloaded software and programs are all made for Windows. Mac is simply left behind, causing big issues for the users.
The all white keyboard and external white shell just doesnt seem that appealing to me. A laptop, whether or not you care for it alot, will eventually become dirty from use. White is the worst color to be using, as your sweat and dirty hands will eventually make it gray or brown. It seems like Windows has just been traditionally been better at doing what modern people today need to do, reflecting their position on the market.
