In the case of Mac Mountain Lion, the number of apps is way more than that in the Windows store but with the pace the Windows 8 store is growing, you won't find any shortage of apps. Both companies have their own app stores. Now, the next thing everyone looks for after the looks may be the app market. It seems that Apple is not much worried about the looks, that seems to believe that 'beauty lies inside'. It is also ahead of OS X with the lively and colourful interference have they used. On comparing, Windows 8 lies a step ahead by its LiveTile feature. In it the icons and apps are arranged as a grid like in an iPad. Like the Start Screen in Windows 8, here is an approximation called the LaunchPad. Here apps are condensed to icons and to get the user's attention to all parts, a bird eye view is provided here. In the case of looks, Apple has approached a type of minimalism. It resembles the previous version of Lion by keeping the traditional Mac look. Os X Mountain Lion: In OS X, Mac presents a uniformity in the look with a typical desktop. In Windows 8 we have Metro styled user interface with colorful and pleasant appearance. Suppose it is a Yahoo Mail app then it would show you if you have any new mail. These are actually 'live' in the sense that it enables the user see the notification or message or whatever the app is about by just a glance. Here the icons are in forms of rectangles and squares which are actually the app looks of smartphones and tablets, these are called the Live Tiles. Windows 8: Instead of the usual taskbar, start menu and Windows explorer, a Start screen has been built in for you in the Windows 8. On comparing these two we come across many similarities and dissimilarities, and anyone who is planning to buy either of the systems should know the differences between the two operating systems.įirst just look through the actual looks of both of the operating systems. Both the operating systems were release in the previous summer. Also, we can say that this war has resulted in the the next revolution of the computer operating systems.
The traditional fight between the mighty players has been brought to the next level by the release of both operating systems.
