So I recently found this article on the web, and I went like lol. Anyway here's the article.

BGR: It’s one of the slickest devices that Apple has ever released, but the 2015 Retina MacBook is anything but perfect. It’s less powerful than other machines in the same price range, the keyboard takes some getting used to and it lacks the ports we’ve come to rely on. One astonishing way to improve your experience with the port-less laptop? Install Windows 10.

Alex King, a computer science major at Tufts University, shared on his blog the story of upgrading his installation of Windows 8.1 on his new MacBook to the Windows 10 Technical Preview. According to King “the new MacBook runs Windows 10 (a prerelease version, at that) better than it runs OS X.”

He first points to the design changes, from elements as simple as circular profile pictures to upscaled apps that look incredible on the Retina display. He also foundMicrosoft Edge to be more than just a competent browser, rendering pages quickly and handling multiple tabs with ease.

Battery life was relatively consistent with what King was getting from OS X, games ran at 60 FPS and after spending a significant amount of time with the operating system, he’s convinced that “Apple really needs to overhaul how animations are done.”

“I’m excited to keep Windows 10 installed on this machine, both now as a preview, and later once the final version is installed,” says King. “Even hardened OS X diehards owe it to themselves to give it a try.”

Now this is my turn on this. Now I like Windows more than Mac, but I can't deny Macbook is much more stable than windows. But it really shocks me how Windows can run better on this machine. Even with the flops of yosmite, I'm still surprise about this. Stability is one of the main selling points on Mac, and if a windows machine can run better, its going to really hit the Mac hard. Anyway guys, what do you think about this, are you shocked? I'll add a poll, and you can comment down below.

Is stability really still an issue for windows? Unless you install loads of crap.



Hell yea!!! I love windows and windows 10 is certainly looking to be the king of consumer OS's! And best of all, its freeee!!!

i think you're right.  windows is very stable unless you use it.



I'll stick with PSX.

Since Apple switched from Motorola to Intel I wouldn't be surprised if this is true.



 

Really not sure I see any point of Consol over PC's since Kinect, Wii and other alternative ways to play have been abandoned.

Tell me a funny joke!

Windows has always been better than Macs. I cannot stand Macs. I can't believe they are so trendy now. I've owned one Mac my life (an iMac G4 10 years ago) and it was garbage. Sold it. The good thing is though is that Macs have high resell value.

Never has been for me, and I use it for heavy gaming and lots of media. In the last 8-10 years, there have been probably about a dozen instances where a larger issue was caused by Windows and not GPU drivers, bugs in games or shoddy coding on websites.

The whole "Windows is unstable and too prone to viruses" is a myth perpetuated by Apple fans and others who don't know how to use a computer without messing it up.

My mom's laptop is utter chaos at times, her and my sister install everything and agree to everything and don't keep anything up to date. They also allow small children to use it, which doesn't help. I've never had huge issues with Windows since Windows 98, besides the annoying UI changes made to Windows 8 on my laptop, that is.
