Apple - Advantage, IOS is for Apple and Mac/IDevices are made to run the IOS. Therefore they do not have the same integration problems that Windows sometimes does. Still, when Apple upgrades their IOS things don't always go smoothly.
Windows - Has to run on multiple manufacturers machine, with accessiories from many different vendors. It works most of the time, however, same as Apple, new OS may not work with old equipment.
Windows has about 92% of the market. Heck, it is estimated XP still has a 25% market share. Apple has about 5%. That's why, historically, new software was developed for Windows. In the business market, I believe, MS is even stronger. That's why I recommend students learn Windows. Yes MAC is sexy, and fun, but Windows is the computer of business. Exception is the manipulation of images. While this is not my area, I have always heard Apple dominates this arena.
Having said this, I use Apple for Iphone, and Ipad. I have used Android and it was OK, but my next phone will most likely be another Apple, and the Dell Venue Windows tablet is almost unusable. Nice small computer, but not a great tablet.
My next desktop/laptop will be Windows. Cheaper, I don't have to learn a new system, I am reasonably guaranteed it will work with my printers and stuff and no learning curve for DW. I have had a computer since 1979, I have had one virus. Most of that time I didn't even run anti-virus software, and have never run any I paid for. i.e. Avast, Avg, Windows Defender. So I am not really concerned with viruses.
