If you want an easy-to-use system that keeps most of the basic things to yourself, check out Mac. If you like a little more control over your computer, you'll probably want to opt for Windows. If you're comfortable with an operating system that will run all your apps and programs, stick with it. It should be noted, however, that not all software is available for all operating systems; So if you absolutely need Final Cut for the feature film you're shooting on the weekend, don't buy a Windows computer and expect it to run Mac.
