The ongoing and never ending battle of operating system
platforms between Mountain Lion OS X and Microsoft Windows gets more and more
on the edge with every single update. The clash of the titans is bound to
happen in a bid to prove who's more superior. Both cater to different target
users but with successive updates, they are slowly converging towards the same
market. We bring you a step by step comparison of both these OS, based on key
parameters of software, security, user friendliness, and business features to
see who comes out trumps.
Software
While both contenders have a robust software, Apple tends to
inch ahead of Microsoft because of its versatility. The way Mac handles email
and organizes it, is nowhere near what the other has to offer. If we take a
look at media software of each one of them, here too Mac's iMovie and iPhoto utilities
nip its counterpart's Windows movie maker and photo viewer/editor app. Also, where iTunes is the biggest media
store, its competitor offers a solution which is rather nascent at this point.
Therefore, in this category, Mac emerges victorious.
Mountain
Lion 101 OS X Support Essentials 10.8 Training is ideal for those still
struggling with the features and usability of this operating system.
User Interface
Almost every computer user has grown up working in the
Microsoft environment, with the classic taskbar, Start menu and other familiar
controls. However, Windows 8 has brought with itself the most drastic change in
its UI so far, clearly showing its intention to compete on par and introduce
support for touch-only desktops. Despite these modernizations, the new OS still
largely remains a user friendly UI that is more easier to navigate than Apple
OS. So this round of the match goes to Windows 8.
With the score being a tie so far at 1-1 each, it still
remains to see who wins the race hands down. Koenig Solutions offers training on
both these technologies who wish to learn how to work efficiently and
effectively either of these. Stay tuned for our next part which will discuss
more parameters and also reveal the winner.
