Why content creators are switching from Macs to PCs
www.fastcompany.com: In the late 1990s, Colie Wertz landed a dream job working as a digital-effects artist at Industrial Light & Magic, the whiz-bang effects house founded by Star Wars creator George Lucas. He was helping to push the creative envelope for visual effects on big-budget blockbusters like Men in Black and the Star Wars prequels. And he did it as part of an off-the-grid team known as the Rebel Mac Unit.

Macs recently have become overpriced and not worth the cost to the average consumer. Macs have a significant amount of restrictions surrounding software development, and Windows/Microsoft are cheaper, less restrictive, and more universal. This has become even more true over the past couple of years, when software universality has become more and more common. This is especially prevalent when it comes to the Adobe suite and AutoCAD, which have been ported properly to their opposite operating software. I, personally made the switch from Mac to PC at the end of high school, because I decided that the Microsoft operating software would be more universal for what I needed. I personally prefer Microsoft to Mac operating systems at this point, just because it is so much more modular, and so much easier to use in the end. Unfortunately I also dropped my laptop the other day, so I have to send it out for repairs, if I can manage, which is one downside of Microsoft computers, you don’t get as good customer service.
