Windows 7 vs Windows 8 vs Mac

[AcarioRuiz]

Which of the three do you like the most?

For me, it just has to be Windows 7. I've used all of the three at some point or another and I have to say that W7 is the most simple and easy to use. While not too complex, there's not much you can't do and I just feel that the other two are limited. Mac feels weird without right-clicking, and W8 is just messy the way it operates.

I've also grown up using w7 so I may have shown a little favouritism but there we go.

i have 8 on my desktop and 7 on my laptop

indifferent between the two

Odd poll... Mac what?

Any, they're pretty similar so just "Mac" in general compared to the 2 window systems I mentioned.

Mac isn't an OS, presumably you mean OSX and even then some people haven't upgraded to the latest one.

Windows 8 for me. Once you get over the fact that the start menu is gone you actually realise (or at least most do) that it actually works better - hit start, type and instantly get what you want - find files, apps, settings and now even web information etc.

Windows 7 is still a great operating system - it brought the speed, usability and compatibility of XP and the security of Vista. Mac wise I'm not a massive fan, the OS is okay although can be confusing for someone who hasn't used it but it's the prices of actual macs that put me off.

By Mac If you mean OSX Mavericks then yes,

and you can right click on a Mac..

I like Windows 7, it does the job. I like to go on my computer to go on internet and do college work, don't need all this faffing around with apps and stuff.

you can right click on a mac...
last thing I had was vista. Don't like windows 7 or 8!!

I use both Mac and 8 on my laptop. But mostly Mac.

[xxMATTGxx]

I use Windows 8.1 and OSX Mavericks

I use Windows 8.1 with Start8 (as I despise Metro but 8.1 is smooth hence not 7). I also have a partition with OS X Mountain Lion, though currently mostly un-used whilst I weigh up whether to buy a MacBook Air.

I was using both Windows 7 and Mac OS X on my iMac but recently upgraded the Windows 7 to Windows 8.1.
Now.. going from Windows 7 to Mac OS X was really confusing for me, mainly because of the Finder and I did find Windows 7 easier to use. But then going from Windows 7 to Windows 8.1 was also a little confusing at first, but I soon got used to it.
HOWEVER, as much as I like Windows 8.1, it seems to love crashing multiple times per day and rebooting itself so I couldn't really trust it if I was doing work on it unless I was saving everything every 20 seconds :/. But hopefully I'll be able to fix that crashing problem anyway.. (apparently it's outdated drivers) so I'll look in to that. So I'm going to vote Windows 8 assuming I get that fixed.

[lawrawrrr]

I really like windows 8. Also, as I'm sure other people have said (even though I haven't read this...) mac isn't an operating system.

windows > mac

windows 8 > os anything

Not had the crashing problem at all, so definitely an isolated issue :)

Yeah I did the repair thing with Apple's bootcamp support package and it seems fine now.. hopefully :D.

I have windows 8 on my laptop and windows 7 on my computer. I tried to get used to windows 8 for 3 months but just couldn't. Rang Microsoft and downgraded my laptop to windows 7.

[Mr-Trainor]

Just came back online to say my Windows 8.1 just crashed again when I went to save a word document :'(.

I'm going to say Windows 8 purely because it's a much quicker boot up than 7.
