I need a bit of help on this one guys and girls. I'll by buying myself a new laptop by the end of Feb. Now since day one, I've always had Windows. XP to be precise and I know how it works and am quite happy with it. I've always had Dell computers and laptops, and I can't really fault them. Now I've not really played with Windows 7, so have no idea what it's like. In the ideal world, I'd be quite happy buying a new laptop with XP on it!
My complication is, I've spoken to quite a few people who used to only work on Windows, then moved over to the fruit based technology, and say that it's miles better! Now I've had a play on the odd Mac and just can't get used to the 'no right click' thing. My brain is wired to use right click on computers, and taking that away messes everything up! Now if I have to learn a new operating system whichever way I go, they're both level pegging for me at the moment, so I've got a few questions.
What's your take on Windows vs Apple? Are they really that much better? I also got told that once you buy a Mac, any help that you need regardless of what it is, you can just go to their store and it'll all be done FOC. Is that true?! How about compatibility using Microsoft Office because I'll be dealing with a lot of Word/Excel etc.
There's no point me going into Apple and ask them because understandably they'll be biased to their product.
Thanks in advance!
