Everyone loves the comedy in the Get a Mac ads, but what do consumers really like the most? Windows, Mac and even Linux are all of different in their own way, but why do you choose each one.
Ubuntu got a 4.5 on a scale of 0 - 5, which makes sense as its free (Why didn’t it get a 5?) While Windows Vista got a 2 and XP got 3. Price doesn’t determine everything, in fact most would choose a higher price for higher quality, but what about the process of actually getting the OS on the machine. Leopard topped this list, with Vista in second with a rating of 4 and Ubuntu with a 2.5 Leopard also tops the of the Interface and the Bundled Software with a 5 and a 4.5 The price and installation, interface and bundled software all help you choose which OS to buy, but what about 3rd party software to extend the functionally. Leopard only scored a 3.5 and Ubuntu even beat it with a 4, in terms of quantity of software. In quality, what really matters, Apple scored second and XP first.
