you missed something, windows 11 still has Cortana which sucks but works.
its discontinued and doesnt work@@YodaComedy
@@cookies5129 It works, but it is discontinued
What about Windows 10 vs MacOS, it has many of the missing features in Windows 11.
Windows actually has that cool window snapping feature patented so Apple can't really implement it in that way. However There Are many third-Party apps like Rectangle and Magnet which includes window snapping and much more customization options
11:47 Moving the taskbar to the sides and top was a thing before Windows 11, for some reason they removed it.
True! I was quite surprised when I found out…
microsoft actually intentionally patched taskbar movement using the registry editor in 22H2, so it’s probably not happening
if its registry you could just easyli edit it to bring back that feature @@43021
@@43021 no clue why they keep removing the amount of stuff you can do with windows
Things like document preview can be done on Windows too, but it does require an app, being either the MS Power Toys or a third party one. You can choose which functionality you want to enable and can define most shortcuts to functions in PowerToys freely. PowerToys can also do many other things, like reconfiguring your keyboard's key layout; just be careful if you move keys around, as you can end up losing access to some key(s) on your keyboard. Trying to swap two keys and forgetting to redefine both of them is not good...
This channel is so underrated. The editing is incredible. It deserves more recognition and subscribers. 😟
Frrrr. Like the concepts of the video are simple, but if you need to change, these simple info is game changing
Thanks for the high praise guys 😊 Made my day!
Get to advertising/promoting him! 😂
true
Every single Linux user watching this video:
i love windows cus it's 1 step closer to installing Linux (i don't have to jailbreak)
I was laughing the entire time 😂
Just started this video and it's already funny how he says windows file Explorer is overpowered. Bro has never used dolphin I bet.
@@emileross well mac is closer to linux as they are both somewhat unix like while windows is completelly different beast
@@netkv not even close. "Technically Unix" is all you'll ever get. MacOS as close to Linux as android is. But the way it's used makes it very different from Linux. Windows will be closer in terms of usability or workflow when it comes to Linux
10:13 - there is no voice assistance on windows cortana crying right now edit: since people dont get what im saying yall think i still think cortana exists, the reason why i said cortana is crying because it got dropped lol
Cortana won't work anymore because Windows now has new AI assistant "Windows Copilot"
Cortana is gone mate
Cortana was in windows 10. It doesn't even work anymore in 10 because it's gone
@@joel_subash copilot was also shut down, pretty ironic
Same for the new voice access
Woah I went to the comments to see peoples opinion on both OS features. But all I see is praise for the maker of this vid. You dont only make great vids, you got yourself great viewers too!
Yep, 100% true, I'm genuinely positively overwhelmed and incredibly thankful for all these kind comments! Motivates me to keep producing videos! Thanks!
But it makes one wondering what is the point of making really well edited videos if no one seems to care about their content? 😉
@@AlexandruBurda How is it possible that 90% of the comments talk about the editing and montage but not about the video itself? 🤔 All his other videos have the same comment section...
The change of clothes is a nice touch. Great video!
Thank you for the great feedback!
Yes. I noticed the Steve Jobs black.
9:14 Windows have the same feature as MacOS. You just need to go Settings -> System -> Developer settings -> Enable "Close task button" on taskbar. Stupid, but it work)
I haven't been using Win 11 much, (only on my new laptop my PC at home still running 10) but you don't even need it cause for most programs (don't know why not for all) if you press right click on the taskbar and close and the programm doesn't respond Win will bring up a popup asking you if you want to force it to close.
I still use multiple file explorer windows instead of tabs in windows 11.
Me too tabs are dumb
Same, tabs aren’t practical
The effort that must've gone into this video - wow man!!!
3 weeks full of work 😅 So thank you for your kind words, that‘s truly motivating!
@@macvince The Effort you made on this video is awesome and you earned my respect and a subscriber.😊
having the clothes match the corresponding CEOs was really cool
Glad you liked the idea :)
I think it’s just awesome how well edited your videos are. I love how you’re almost constantly seen without the video being boring. It’s also so clean and so comfortable to watch! Super Video, weiter so :)
Danke dir, Johannes! I appreciate the great and helpful feedback :)
your editing is mad cool, it makes the whole video fun to watch. keep up the great work
Thanks a ton!
2:10 I think there is a powertoys thing that can replicate the mac behavior, I think it's called peek.
Same for search (kinda)
Yep. And for Spotlight, there's PowerToys Search
ya it is already in the windows by preview
alt+p also works
It's called preview, and you can preview most of yhe files, compy texts in word, xls, ppt, pds without opening it.
No bias, no bs, straight on point. You deserve more views and followers my man. Keep up with the content!
Thank you man, that's super motivating!
He is very biased, He mentions that you can change settings to get more customization out of macos by default, but doesn't mention the same thing for windows.
@@MegaLokoposame with the time machine when windows also has recovery
@@MegaLokopo Hey, but I did the same for some Windows features - like the clipboard history, color themes, etc. which are also not settings enabled by default, and macOS completely lacks. I tried to make it as unbiased as possible, but it's hard to remember and think of every possible feature/customization option on both systems. There's definitely room for improvement and I missed some essential features (and luckily people mentioned them in the comments!), but I really tried to make it as unbiased as possible. Thank you for watching!
@@9tr0nthe Windows recovery point is a piece of shh
I’ve seen literally a dozen of these comparisons. This is by far the best one! Great Job
There’s no way this video pays off your editing time and effort. Not even with 14 million views. No way.
14 million views would be a great start, but currently, my hourly wage is way below minimum :D The passion keeps me going, though 😅
@@macvincetry using your YB channel as a portfolio to do content creation as a freelance on Upwork, your skills are top notch
I think you had so many mistakes and you don’t know how to use either operating system. I have to dislike it. Window snapping came in windows vista. You can have tabs on finder etc. not gonna waste my time on someone that doesn’t know what even a computer is. Your channel sucks
@@macvinceI hope your hourly wage stays below the minimum wage. Worst video I’ve ever seen
@@taavi948 I hope you're joking
Awesome editing as usual and thanks for your honesty.
Thank you for watching and the great feedback! :)
The quality of the videos are crazy! As I clicked on this and was watching it, I thought you would surely have millions of subscribers. Then, when I went to subscribe, I saw you only had 61K! You deserve more subscribers. Keep going with your amazing quality and you will surely get there!
Thank you so much for the high praise and motivating words! 😊
Finally, an unbiased comparison video with amazing editing! Earned a sub
I got my first mac a couple of days ago and your videos made navigating around the os a whole lot easier!
Even though he does not like it, I highly suggest using your applications in full-screen mode. Since I have switched to macOS, I have gone down from three to only one monitor, which works very very well for me. Now, I can simply switch between applications when they are in full-screen just like I would on my iPad or iPhone. I stay a lot more focused too as I'm not getting distracted by any apps I'm currently not working with. Furthermore, when you need to work with two applications at the same time, just put them into full-screen split view or if it needs to go fast, leave them on your desktop as a window. For small tasks, I only use windows, for example quickly looking through the Finder or checking a password in 1Password, but Safari is always in full screen, just like my code editor and applications that I'm working on more than just a few minutes. It works very well for me, so, it might work for you too
@@dnvylCtrl windows d Ctrl windows right arrow Ctrl windows left arrow Ctrl windows f4
@@SOTP. Yes, I know you can use multiple desktops on Windows, but these are no replacements for fullscreen applications. Plus, it's not the intended way on Windows. This becomes clear when you compare both systems. On macOS, the maximize button will put a window into fullscreen mode and therefore open it in a new space (virtual desktop but not really a virtual desktop). You can also toggle the fullscreen mode of any application by clicking Ctrl + Cmd + F or Fn + F. Switching between them becomes also very easy with the trackpad. This is not the case on Windows. On Windows, maximizing a window will maximize it on the same desktop, so you would need to manually move it to another virtual desktop to have the same effect. Windows just added virtual desktops as a feature to organize windows for certain situations, for example, to have one desktop for work and one for personal stuff. You can do this on macOS as well, but mostly you use spaces (virtual desktops) for fullscreen or split-screen applications and that's where macOS excels compared to Windows. That's also the reason why I switched from three to only one monitor. Because spaces are designed to be used on a single monitor. Working with a MacBook without any external monitors works so great because of this. Windows accepts more use cases, but macOS is far better for laptops
@@SOTP. 🤓
I'm always amazed by the amount of work this guy puts into his videos. Unbelievable.
I'd like to genuinely thank you for your kind words! Super motivating!
Amazing Video! Your editing, costumes, props and humor are just crazy! Thanks!🙏🏼🚀
This editing is really amazing, definitely earned my subscription! Tolles Video :)
This is heavily edited, you deserve more attention! Edit:can you do another video on windows vs ubuntu(linux)
Much appreciated! Thanks for the suggestion, I'll add it to my video ideas note!
Linux can do all this, some things even better, but there are so many different distributions and tools, it would be unfair to choose just one to compare
@@kaktus9414 more likely to compare different Desktop Environments as actual Distros. But yeah, it would be quite interesting to see them in comparison against Mac or Windows.
No, he shouldn't do Ubuntu. It shouldn't be advertised. Would be better with something like mint
Ubuntu is not a good example of how good Linux can be. The workflow of something like arch with KDE plasma is what we should be advertising as Linux users lol
Hey man, just wanted to say your videos are perfect and fun to watch in every single way I dont even have a mac (although im planning on getting one) and i have started watching all your videos Also, i can easily see you reach a million this year All love man ❤
Man, thank you so much for your kind words and support, I really appreciate that!
Anytime mate 😁
Awesome editing and graphics work on the video. Amazing work there and so engaging without being too much. It is just right.
I love your videos so much. Been binge watching your videos for the last couple months and it seriously helped me to get used to my M2 Air 💕
This truly means a lot to me! Thank you 😊
I love your videos! You’re the first technology-trivia youtuber I’ve watched every single video. I love how they are made, you have to put a lot of effort in order for them to look so cool and polished
Yay, thank you so much! That's amazing feedback, super motivating 😊
I have been looking for this type of video for a while now. most people focus on the new features and stuff but rarely the basic things that matter most. Nice video you deserve 1M❤
So glad you enjoyed the video! Thank you for the kind words and your support! 😊
editing is fantastic, really appreciate the editing and more informative content, looking forward to watch more mesmerisingly edited videos
Can’t even begin to understand the amount of effort going into these videos! Great one, as always! Thank you
Thank you so much for watching another one and leaving such kind words! Yep, this was the most difficult video I've ever made, so your words mean a lot :)
Love the video and the editing is insane! Keep up the good work. I recently purchased an M2 MacBook Air coming from an Intel Mac, and the performance is actually really good 🎉🎉
Amazing! Glad you liked the new video - and enjoy your new Mac! Thanks for your great feedback :)
Incredible Video once again! Keep up the effort, I can clearly see this channel is going to be big!
Actually, I’ve seen a bunch of videos, which compare these systems, but yours is absolutely amazing! Thanks for the video
Such 🔥 videos. Crazy good editing!
Thank you man 😊 I appreciate the great feedback!
this is legendary thanks, but also mentioned that many of the features lacking can be overcomed with free and opensource tools and softwares also, though i know u r making native os diffrences. well made video man keep up the good work
Thanks again, man! True, there are tons of apps bringing the lacking features to the Mac.
bro this montage is crazy, appreciate it really
Huge thanks!
Superb video with by far the best editing I've seen till date 🙌
Your editing is so amazing bro ❤❤
Thanks man, I genuinely appreciate your kind words 😊
The editing is consistently great. I wonder which platform you used for editing the video
Thank you! I use Final Cut :)
Editing on this video is phenomenal!!! Keep up the good work and I hope you hit 100k subs soon!!!
I've been using mac for ages and I learned a surprising amount from this video...
This video is amazing your editing is really over-the-top! Keep the hard work, good luck
Thank you so much! 😊 Really motivates me to keep going!
Great comparison video. One of the most honest videos without any bias toward any operating system. Though you missed one crucial feature that Windows has forever but Mac lacks. Previews of app windows and quick controls on Dock and Task bar. In Windows I can preview even multiple app windows and quickly play pause music for example directly from the taskbar without opening the app. Super handy and useful. Apple being stubborn even removed the media control from taskbar feature from the new Apple Music app on Windows to give users a Mac like old school vibe. Also missed the useful app specific volume control. I can be in a Zoom or Teams meeting and keep that volume to 10 and open a movie on Netflix and have it at 60 LOL
Man, you're 100% right. totally forgot to mention this - probably one of the most important multitasking features Windows offers. So thank you for filling the gap - and for the great feedback!
The video editing and just the way you explain things with all those amazing animations , it was just Crazy Amazing!!

If only more youtubers adopted Mrwhosetheboss' style of editing and music selection. I want more of this. Kudos.
Thank you for the great feedback! yep, his editing style is amazing.
On windows, you can use multiple desktops, show some app only on one desktop or on all at the time, and swithc between using Ctrl+Win+Arrows (Mey be usefull for somebody)
Thanks for mentioning it! Super useful!
I love editing, how you present information and just being honest. I'm gonna subscribe ☺
the video is super informative. amazing editing, dude. i didn't get bored while watching this. great work, man 👍 🎉👏
That's great to hear, thank you man 😊
You should do the same but for Linux! Go with Gnome Desktops as it is the most different to what most people are used to!
Imho Gnome Shell is the best of both worlds, especially when it comes to Nautilus as the File Manager; and when Gnome Shell would still support the Global Menu Bar it could be easily be mistaken for macOS.
So like, Zorin OS, Pop!_OS, and elementaryOS?
or does elementary use Pantheon...
The face cam being played on the current OS is genius!!!
Thank you 🙏
The level of editing is simply spectacular, great comparison video.
Amazing editing! I love the way you play each operating system as a different person!
Super grateful for your feedback, thanks! 😊
2:00 But windows does have that, you just gotta press ALT+P
sure.. but isnt it just only previewing inside the file explorer not a seperated window, and you still can't do much there.
He's talking about the full preview window, not the info sidebar
Editing 📈📈📈
The editing of this video is on a whole other level. Great job
The editing and planning that must’ve gone into this video…🔥🔥🔥👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Something to consider, window snapping feature, is actually patented by Microsoft Inc., Cannonical and some Linux distributions are continuously licensing the feature to be able to use it. Apple just doesn t care to license it.
Interesting! Thanks for mentioning it!
How can such a trivial software feature be patented?
@@jblbasstester6198because it is useful, and was just implemented on Aero Snap during Vista development. It was something simple, but very useful, so they patented. No other OS at the time, had the feature, neither XP or Linux. They can patent anything they want. Patent No. 9,423,923, 9,423,938, and 9,423,954 by MS was filled many years ago.
@@jblbasstester6198it’s the same as live saving medication that can be patented and to be honest you can live with non snapping windows but not without your medication.
Remember swipe to unlock on iOS?@@jblbasstester6198
0:48 "Multiple tabs", you have the ability on macOS to add multiple tabs even BEFORE you could do that on windows...
And? He shows the tabs feature just a couple seconds after
This is amazing, there are some features I didn't even know about on the Mac.
OMG, congrats for that editing. It's brilliant and creative!!!
Cortana: Am I a joke to you?
cortana was deprecated
If only MacOS wasn't exclusive to apple computers...
Top notch editing, pace, information and presentation! Easy sub!
I like your videos so much. I am really excited about your style and video editing, it looks really fresh. Content is also your strong point because you show really useful things unlike other youtubers who just show the obvious things.
editing is crazy good, and not having bias is refreshing, great video!
Thanks for the kind words, that's great to hear, especially succeeding in making it as unbiased as possible!
mrwhosetheboss
great video! i think if apple improved the dock and the closing system, and maybe they allowed it to run on other branded machines MacOS would probably be the modt popular/most loved os.
Good point! It's crazy that it has so little marketshare... Thanks for watching, Cassius!
Licensing MacOS to other manufacturers like HP or Dell would ultimately ruin its reputation. Yeah, 256GB of storage on the baseline MacBooks today is a joke - but it is incredibly fast storage, exactly enabling the File Preview and Spotlight Search functions to perform so effortlessly fast. MacOS experience is polished precisely because it is curated; and if it isn't curated by Apple themselves anymore, then the quality would drop tremendously. Just look at how many laptops manufacturers like Asus, Acer and Lenovo churn out every year... I reckon that many models per year just create gargantuan amounts of e-waste nobody is talking about.
Man those are some fluent animations! And thank you for not wasting my time and getting straight to the point on any aspect.
Thank you man!
Linux: hold my beer
Nobody cares Linux for desktop 🙄
Just found your channel, ordered my first ever Macbook. Really enjoying your vids, and editing.
Awesome! Thank you!
Great video. The good thing about Desktop OSes is as you said the ability to bring many features from the competition. On Windows for example, Powertoys from Microsoft adds similar features like Spotlight Search (which is way better than the built in one), some new options for pictures in the right click menu in explorer and Quicklook.
Thanks for mentioning it, that's good to know!
Don't forget about the new file preview feature in powertoys, just like with MacOS!
1:10 they’re often incorrect. I can transfer 0 bytes and see a transfer speed, I can cancel a transfer entirely and it still tells me how fast it isn’t going.
It shows that at what speed that was traveling at.
That's like saying you can't go 120km/h just cause you only wanna go 1km away
New to Mac and I didn't know about spacebar file preview! Thanks so much!
That is very handy. The cool and the worse part about Apple, there are so many hidden features
great concise vid that actually showed me a lot of things you can do in windows that I never knew. also the idea of using the stock media player oddly reminds me of HELMET’s preplanning ui (it’s basically just a recreation of notepad)
The editing on this video is out of this world
Much appreciated!
Thank you for this video! Something that struck me recently.. have you considered reviewing the differences between ipados and macos? I know it seems goofy but there's a lot of cross inspiration and hidden key commands. It feels a little bit like if they could make an operating system now versus what they knew back then.
Hey, thank you again! Always happy to see you in the comments. And I appreciate the suggestions, that's an interesting idea I haven't really thought about yet. It's already in my Notes app - sounds like it could be a great video :)
Never seen this channel. Well put together and easy to watch. Will subscribe.
Super clean smooth editing and so many useful tips, too!
Great animations and production! The green screen / keying could use a little refinement in this one in the edges.. On the subject matter, two topics that could have been mentioned is deleting files with cmd+backspace vs just delete key which is way easier and of course pinning (any) app on top of others which is not available on macOS, plus the fact of windows and app sub windows for dialogue settings etc hiding beneath others and not able to find them especially in multi monitor setups as cmd+tab does not bring them in front.. Keep up the great work!
I appreciate the great and helpful feedback! The "greenscreening" is actually AI rotoscoping, and blurring the background - but you're 100% right, I wasn't really happy how this one turned out either. And thanks for mentioning those features - although I'm researching days before even writing the scripts for my videos, there's always something I forget - so comments like yours really help fill the gap! I'll catch you in the next video!
Why didn’t you mention when you do screen recording (video) on a Mac, that you do not get any sound at all and you have to do ridiculous hacks to get the sound to work? Slightly important 🙄
Good point. It's hard to include every single feature, so comments like yours help fill the gap. Thanks!
Most underrated channel I’ve seen, you deserve a sub
Beoo. It's a really amazing video, I congratulate you for the great work behind it, once again you did it 💪❤️
After waching this and contemplating my life chouses i chose to use linux.
Linux user laughs on both.
ok nerd
Can't do anything expect laughing anyway
Super funny... Until you need to do, like, anything other than fap to waifus.😂😂😂
Laugh at what? That you don’t have no support for games? Or that drivers suck ass on Linux? Or that you need a f*king degree to set it up? Linux suck’s and thats the truth.
Linux is not developed for user friendly. But linux can do what windows and mac does with several extra preparation. So... Yeah. I already sound like a nerd 🤓
