However, the latter competitor surpassed Mac and dominated the world of technology by designing its operating systems, which were developed to be compatible with a variety of computer brands. such as Dell, IBM, HP, Sony, etc. On the other hand, the competitor simply designed its software for an integration of computer hardware and software, that was not compatible with other computer hardware. In light of the statistics, Microsoft has captured about 91% of the market, leaving 9% of which Mac shares only 5%. The main operating system for Mac is OSX, while Microsoft Windows is for PC. Mainly, the PC has support for extended RAM, double that offered by the Mac. Similar is the case with hard drives which are also smaller on the Mac than on the PC. Mac hardware and software are relatively more stable than PC hardware and software that crash more often. Mac not only runs its own operating system but Windows while PC can only run Windows; however, both operating systems are compatible with most open source software as both are easy to use. Cost is another difference worth mentioning. Since Mac is more compatible for professional users, it is expensive compared to PC.
