[QUOTE="Exodist, post: 1564614, member: 284358"] There are perks and cons on both sides. Cost for quality prebuilt systems are relativity about the same. Virus threats are not even an option, even free options such as AVG, Avast or even Microsofts Security Essentials all do a good job of that as long as the user updates the software often like you should and doesn't install stupid crap all the time. They are both PCs these days, no real hardware reason to choose one over the other. Matter of fact Foxcon builds many of the boards for Apple and I wouldn't buy/use a Foxcon motherboard to build a PC even if it was free. Win7 was good, heck it was great compared to all the previous operating systems MS has released. I just can't fantom what the heck they were thinking with this Metro UI crap they did with Win8. Also Win8 last time I tested it was horrible, not very multitasking friendly and just plane ugly. If I wanted a touch screen UI I would use my tablet, if I want to use a desktop then I use my PC/Mac.
