Use windows or mac?

[Reymugen]

Hey folks, a friend of mine uses windows 8 on his macbook to play games or to use windows programms! Is this really needed? Is mac worse for playing games? since you can play steam games on a mac, and he uses windows for it...
And i also read that there are apps for mac, which allow to install windows programms...

So is it really necessary to install windows on a mac to run several apps or play games?
Thanks in advance

Booting to Windows will give you access to a much wider selection of games, and will likely provide better gaming performance (as Windows as done a good job of maximizing performance for gaming).

Gaming on OSX works, but you will have to select from the (relatively) small population of games available.

actually i just play league of legends and steam games. as far as i know both are mac compatible, aren`t they?

but all in all games will run better on windows than on mac?

Don't know the answer.

General consensus is however, the Air is NOT a game machine. If that seems important to you.
