Windows vs. Mac

Okay guys, if anyone's had a research project, then they know it's insane. Well, I have a research paper to do. My class was able to choose a topic and a certain writing style to use. I chose to do my project on the Windows OS vs the Mac OS. I also chose to write it in a comparative argument style. I'm still up in the air as of which one I want to back up. Here are my thoughts:
  • I'm a dedicated Windows user, and haven't been exposed to a Mac os more than a few times at my local BestBuy.
  • From what I know, Mac kills Windows in stability and security, however, Windows runs laps around Mac in compatibility and upgrade-ability. Obviously, these will be topics covered in my research paper.
  • With all of this in mind, I'm not sure which side to argue as the best. I want to go for Windows, but Mac sort of kills it. If I go for Mac, then that would be like explaining how a BMW is better than a Chevy. People already know Mac is better, so it'd be like convincing someone who likes, well, apples to like them even more.
  • Windows seems like the underdog, and it would be amazing if I can convince people that it is clearly the best option, but this would be a difficult task.
What I'm asking you all is for your thoughts on this whole research paper. Which is your favorite operating system and why? Which way do you think I should go with this? What do you think should be included in this paper? Thanks guys!

What is this?

To start off, I figured it'd be a nice idea to describe what this blog is all about.
Well, guys, this is an discussion blog that traverses the tech world! From that new laptop you got to the next new idea some corporation buys from a grad student, I'll cover most of it. :D
So stay tuned for new posts to come!
