While Windows 7 has come a long way since XP and Vista to some extent, it still has a way to go. Microsoft keep up their tradition of improving their operating systems gradually; they always become a bit smoother, faster and easier to use. This time is no exception, so there is little to complain about in this regard.
Apple also keep up their tradition of making operating systems that simply take your breath away. Snow Leopard is to date the most beautiful OS ever made. It is simple, sleek and works perfectly in terms of functionality. The design is excellent and theme-based right down to the smallest detail, and it sports backwards network compatibility. There is still no one who can beat that.
Furthermore Apple controls the hardware in their computers, meaning software and hardware are not always parallel. All in all it means you do not get all sorts of weird messages and errors in Snow Leopard as a result of hardware problems, and additionally the hardware is always known and does not lack drivers. This is an evil Windows users have to live with as Windows operates on practically an infinite number of combinations of hardware like RAM, GPU, CPU etc.
Apple is the clear winner in this category and will probably remain so far into the future unless they lose their game.
