Hi are there any big differences between Mac and PC now or does most software run on both formats now? I used to be really up-to-date with technology and now I am technologically challenged. I know know what's hot with PC anymore not having had one for a couple of years. Is there any really fun new software out for PC that I don't know about? What about photo editing? Anything else that has happened?
Thanks,

I have Mac at home and PC at work. I can run the same programs on my Mac. My Mac is just faster and the PC is prone to a virus now and then.

I use a PC at work and home (laptop). We have a MAC but I don't use it.
I'm fed up with my laptop. Windows 10 has caused weird conflicts with something on my laptop and I've had to uninstall and reinstall MS office. Now I randomly have TLS issues. I never know if I'll be able to open web pages.

if you need good support..go with Mac/apple. buy the applecare..you can get free classes at stores, you can call them 24/7 and talk to a call center in the USA...and even my 89 yr dad is mostly happy with his apple ..and he is super challenged by the new tech.
the support makes it an easy choice.

I have a PC at home because it's easier for my DH to use since that's what he learned on and it's cheaper. Still love the Mac. |

So I am going to paraphrase here and say "nothing" is new. I am loving my Mac forever and ever. But I was just wondering... |

People don't really buy much in the way of software anymore. It's all about apps. I had a PC and it finally died after the third time I had to scrub for viruses. I have a Mac now and I'm very happy with it

Macs tend to be great for creative pursuits. Whenever you see an business/office full of creative types they're almost always on Macs.
More people know how to fix or troubleshoot a PC (but Macs very rarely have problems, so who needs to know how to fix them?!)
I'll never go back to PC. But very computer savvy people often prefer the control they have over their PCs and would feel limited by the way Macs operate.

I'm a Mac but I think software is pretty much same on both. I jus prefer the plug n play aspect of macs vs pcs: uploading one program doesn't corrupt three others.
