Considering how "Open" the Windows platform is and how comparatively "Closed" for the Apple world, the comparison is less straight forward. Personally, I like the idea that IBM PC type systems and the software that runs them is open to massively broad innovation without asking anyone's permission (e.g., no fear that warranty will be voided).
My suggestion? Compromise and go to Linux.

Apples and Oranges. Windows is much wider and open platform, considering it can work with so many different third party hardware configurations.

It all depends on the experience you want. Apple software tends to be like set of corridors; as long as you are content running down them, you are find. Want to depart from them, you are out of luck. Windows software tends to be like handing someone enough rope to hang themselves and may be even tying the noose. I prefer the latter.

Depends. Does he own a mushroom?

200 seamstresses. Not a needle between them.
|
|
|
|
|
IIRC, they found one needle.

Two! It was Men At Arms: "A survey by the Ankh-Morpork Guild of Merchants of tradespeople in the dock areas of Morpork found 987 women who gave their profession as “seamstress.” Oh…and two needles."

Umm Patton like the pattern used for clothes making? I believe in over 39 years I have not heard that one (and I have heard most!)
|
|
|
|
|
It's a Pratchett reference to the Guild of Seamstresses (Night watch, but also in Men At Arms)

Ahh the two Pratcetts I have not read they are on my Kindle after John Carters Chronicles of Mars (yeah saw the movie, thought there was the possibility of something, I do knida like HG Wells!)
|
|
|
|

Gawd! That movie was... um ... poor.
The books were good when I read them, but that was several decades ago...
