No doubt most PC users purchase their computer/laptop along with the software that they require, but the fact that Apple's products come with their key programs pre-installed as standard is undoubtedly a bonus. The application upgrade process is also unbelievably simple.

Apple's software has also proven to be far more consistent over the past few years than that produced by Windows. Some of Windows' output has been stunning - Windows 7, for instance - but it has quickly been succeeded by awful updates like Windows 8.

There hasn't been a particularly poor example from Apple for years, even back when the company was in the marketplace wilderness.

It's also worth celebrating Apple's ingenious Time Machine feature, although the main reason why this is so useful is because of the continuing refusal of many PC and Mac users to back up their files.

Time Machine is incredibly easy to use, keeping copies of files and backing up your system repeatedly so that you can return to earlier dates. Useful, for instance, if something goes wrong with the Mac itself.

This is a nifty feature, although it is one that wouldn't really be much of a step up from the PC if people were more prepared to take the time to back stuff up anyway...
