Since our last update of this head-to-head, Windows 10 became Windows 11 and macOS became macOS Ventura. So don't expect a correlation between the final tally here and our review ratings. Note that this is a different exercise than how we review products, which involves rating each product as a whole in its category rather than as the sum of its parts, as we do here. Each category has a winner or is declared a tie, and we tally up the points at the end to declare a winner. The approach here is to work our way through the standard operating system features, comparing what you get from Microsoft and Apple. Many of the software applications that I test and write about run on macOS as well as Windows. I do, however, have plenty of experience with Macs and iPhones. In the spirit of full disclosure, like most of the desktop and laptop world, I am primarily a Windows user. Mac operating system debate probably just aren’t aware of what the other side has to offer, and some of you may actually be curious. I dread the angry comments, emails, and social posts headed my way because of this comparison, but hear me out.
