Half a dozen of one, six of another. Buy what you are comfortable with. Nothing wrong with Mac OS. But the notion that Mac is "better" than Apple comes from the days of Windows 95. Windows 7 and Windows 8 are as trouble free as any Mac. And there is more software available.

So again, buy what you are comfortable with. One is not better than the other.
Oh, BTW, I've been a systems administrator and have worked with many computer OSes for the past 18 years.
