To answer your question accurately, it would be helpful to know the specific options you are considering. Generally speaking, both macOS and Windows come with a variety of pre-installed tools and applications that are beneficial to users, such as:
- Web browsers (Safari for macOS, Edge for Windows)
- File management tools (Finder for macOS, File Explorer for Windows)
- Office applications (Pages, Numbers, Keynote for macOS; Word, Excel, PowerPoint may come in some versions of Windows)
- Media players (QuickTime for macOS; Windows Media Player or Movies & TV for Windows)
However, certain specialized software or third-party applications are generally not pre-installed on either operating system, such as:
- Advanced graphic design tools (like Adobe Photoshop)
- Comprehensive antivirus software (though some basic protection might be included)
- Specialized development environments (like IDEs for programming)
If you provide the specific tools or options you're asking about, I can help you identify which one is not typically pre-installed.
