One of the things I love about the Windows platform is I built my computer from just the pile of parts I chose, ordered online, from different vendors, and the software I wanted. Windows itself takes some time to customize as Microsoft is under the impression every computer is a laptop, used by multiple users in random locations, and they all love to play games.
It took me a lot of time and effort to kill off kill off the dang games, and convince my computer I really do want to share my hard drives with the other two computers I have. Microsoft needs an option that upon initial setup, no games, maximum performance, and this is not a laptop so battery life is irrelevant. In the end, I have my computer set up exactly like I wanted it, and I can change any component with a different one from any manufacturer.
I check out a few Macintosh "workstations" and all of them had pitiful amounts of RAM, and small storage. In the end, three of the powerful mapping programs I use regularly simply require Windows Professional or Enterprise to run and they run best with a ton of RAM.
