Actually, to be truthful, my parents chose the Macintosh. Unfortunately, I have a slight old version of a Mac. It's an iMac 8.6 3 ghz. What I find fascinating about the Macintosh. (and even though it's old) is that when there is a problem with it, it's very simple to fix it. But since I have an old verson of the Mac, I've been getting alot of trouble. This may have to do with using to much, or it not being compatible with the newer programs that are made today. Macintoshes have very simple features. What I like mostly about the Macintosh is how fast it is. My friend told me awhile ago that Windows operated systems just came up with 3ghz, and mine is 3ghz, and I've had this computer since I was in the 5th grade, and now I'm going to be a junior. Also, another good thing I like about it, is how it's made. Notice how Windows places your icons on the left, and Macintoshes place them on the right. Opening programs, closing them on the Mac is so fast that I can't even explain. One thing I don't like (and for all you Mac users, you'd probably agree with me) is that since that the whole computer world is based on Windows programs. Well, most of them. In my opinon, it would be pretty cool to open .exe files and such on a Mac.
