Exactly right! It's Snow Leopard, which I got for only $10 since I got my MacBook Pro after June. (I have a MBP too.) Not only is it dirt cheap for an OS, it kicks Windows' Blue-Screen-of-Death-ing butt in terms of speed, security, features, user interface, and pretty much everything else you can think of.

The Mac OS is superior to anything Windows ever put out. I could live with XP (although, with constant headaches) but Vista is just plain bad.

[vfmacfan]

You're correct! I used to have Vista, it drove me absolutely crazy. Constant crashing + data erasal. Not fun. With a Mac, none of those problems!

[fakeplastictrees]

I like Macs more when it comes to the system itself.
But it just doesn't play any games. -_-

Really, I don't like either mac or windows.

[vfmacfan]

Hmm, you could use a Mac for your main system, and then emulate Windows inside it with Parallels or VMWare Fusion

[zarchasm]

First of all, you can either compare Windows vs Mac (both companies) or Vista vs Leopard (both operating systems).

Out of all those I choose Windows 7.

[vfmacfan]

Ah, but neither Windows or Mac are companies. Microsoft and Apple are companies.
And Windows 7? Why would you actually want to choose something that's just Mac OS X upside down and backwards? :\

Uh wat. Windows 7 is absolutely fantastic. Great function, feel, performance, and layout. Plus it's compatible with anything. anything.

[vfmacfan]

Oh really? If you think that's fantastic, why don't you try a Mac, you won't even have an adjective to describe it
And that taskbar thing at the bottom is just a clone of the Mac dock. Same goes with most of Windows's features, only they're changed (for the worse) to prevent Apple suing MS.
You want fast? Try Snow Leopard. 20 seconds to reboot. Doesn't get any better.
And how about decent window switching? There's nothing like Expose for that. When I have to sit down at a PC, most of the time I'm frantically trying to figure out where my window went after I clicked on a different one. There just isn't decent window switching on a PC. (That Aero Flip 3d thing is LAME. Can't see more than one window at a time.)
As for compatibility, are you talking compatibility with peripheral devices? Snow Leopard has it, Windows doesn't. Compatilibility with applications? Snow Leopard has it, Windows 7 doesn't (see: Windows Vista). Compatibility with other computers? Again, Snow Leopard has it; Windows doesn't.

Get a Mac next time. You'll be astounded. 
