Yet, some language experts contend that very thing. Bilingual music artist Luis Miguel insists that Spanish is a more romantic language than English, and that is why he still prefers to sing in Spanish. My point is that when you ask someone about what operating system they think is better, you are not going to get an informed answer unless that person is computer literate in all the computer platforms you want them to compare. Following the crowd does not necessarily equate to making a wise decision. Like foreign languages, you can use either platform to communicate a similar message.
Differences also emerge when multimedia software is used.
The abilities of Macintosh computers to render and transform graphic file formats, including digital video clips, is dramatically better than on comparable Windows computers. Just watch or read about a MacExpo demonstration comparing relative Mac and Wintel computer abilities in Adobe Photoshop . As a computer user and teacher rather than a technician , I would prefer to not have to know the answers to any of these questions. Inevitably, technical questions arise, however, and someone has to fix the problem. For someone to generalize about Linux in comparison to Windows or the Macintosh OS, they would need to be able to answer the above questions about Linux as well.
