[NABS-L] Which is better, Mac or Windows?

[Ignasi Cambra]

I found the article below extremely interesting and entertaining. I am a Mac user, and after two failed attempts at buying PCs last year I am now using Windows in VmWare Fusion when I need it. The two laptops I bought and returned last year were top-of-the line business machines from Lenovo and Samsung, and I found all the bloatware and fan noise were simply unbearable. The system felt generally very slow and annoying, and at least back then I felt like it was a bit to early to buy an Arm pc. I can tell you that Windows 11 is smoother, quieter and more enjoyable running virtually in my Macbook Pro than in any pc I have seen as of late. I missed being able to use Office and JAWS, but for most other things I find Mac OS vastly superior. Now I really feel like I have the best of both worlds, and the Mac OS integration features offered by VmWare make the experience even better.

Hope this helps!
