Now it has turned, wild users are receiving best arguments on both sides to present a clear picture, why one might choose one platform over another. The following difference between Mac OS X and Windows 8 will help you about user preference. Desktop Windows 8 has noteworthy change, this is very visual, and the prelude of the UI is known as Metro, now called Windows 8-style Modern UI. Supplanting the old-style desktop & menu as default, Windows 8 is planning to decide for a dashboard of tiles similar to the Xbox 360 and miles away from preceding reiterations of Windows and OS X. On the other hand Mountain Lion is stick with the Apple tradition as its fundamental setup will remain same. This is because it has its own application folder, iOS-style home screen of apps on Macs, the full-screen and fairly new Launchpad.

Contrary to this Apple has not done much changes in OS X as it’s mostly features are ported with its previous versions. In this area Microsoft has done better performance as they have prepared an operating system that one can use on tablets as well.
