…and notice no differences at all.

There are also some comma issues in there, but I’ll let them go.

I see nothing that creates a more superior experience from the hardware of a Mac or the software of OS X when compared to similar hardware running Windows.

The one thing I will say is that it generally takes less knowledge of computing to operate OS X and it is more secure than Windows. I suppose if there was a photographer, who preferred a simpler computing experience and had the capital to purchase the hardware, a Mac would make sense. For a photographer who is comfortable with computing basics (like security) and did not want to pay for premium hardware, a Windows-based computer is just fine.

I use Lightroom on both platforms consistently and notice know differences at all.
