As in what? Their operating system, or office software?

Apple computers are not as capable of running different types of applications, since they are harder to program for. There is more freeware software for Windows then there is for the Mac system. Windows has more hardware support, while Apple relies on its lack of hardware support for "stability".

    Most of the software you can find for MAC, you can find the exact same thing for windows. And the stories that MAC users spread to say that MACs have better sound and video editing software is just propaganda.

    For example MAC users say that Final Cut Pro is the best video editing software... not exactly true. Most of them haven't heard of Avid, which is the industry standard for video software. (editing, streaming, broadcasting, etc.)
    Another example is the Pro Tools audio editing software. It is arguably the best audio editing and mastering software out there and MAC users will say that it is only available for the MAC. That's a lie too. You can get the exact same version for Windows.
    Next in line is Office suites. Microsoft Office is, in my opinion, the best office software. Apple doesn't have anything that remotely compares.
    Games? Does MAC have games? Yes, they do. But to play any of them with the same performance of a PC, you would have to spend hundreds or thousands of dollars more.

    MAC does have some cool screen savers, though. And the program dock is really neat. ;) :P
