I need to write a 6 page school paper, and I have chose to write it on the linux v.windows v. mac debate.

This is a college level paper, so please post reasonable arguments. They don't have to be complex/advanced, but just what you like and dislike about OS's and their support levels.

Admins: I am making a second and third thread in hopes of getting some different perspectives in different sub forums.

Example:

If you need any more help, feel free to shoot me a PM, or reply in this thread.

The points I am planning on making:

first paragraph after into will be about ad campaigns and society's reaction

Macs
Pros
less viruses (for now)
simple UI (kids)
some good graphical design and media design programs

Cons
less upgradable
price
programming
online tech support communities (maybe)

Windows
Pros
Far more programs available
Price
customizable
online tech support communities (maybe)
upgradeable/ able to built with variety
gaming
business
variates
overclocking (not sure if i want to get this in depth with my English teacher

)

Cons
viruses (I will explain about being smart with computers)
required resources
larger learning curve (kids)
variates

Linux will be my conclusion
