Apple vs. Microsoft (MY WAY)

Apple and Microsoft have been competing for years, each one creating newer and better products. But who is the best of the best?

First, let's start with Apple. Music has been this company's favorite subject since the iPod was invented, and they have never stopped building other devices. Now they have computers, phones, and lots of accessories. A positive way to look at the would be that every product they sell have a three - year warranty, if you pay extra, that is. Their invention of the iPhone was superior against others when you can do almost anything with it. But the best part of the Apple computers are that they have the ability to run Microsoft Windows. Plus, you can run Windows and Mac OS X at the same time! Except there are problems with all this technology. Battery life of portable products (Macbooks, iPods, iPhones) are too short, although Apple claims that they do have a long battery life. Listening to music, watching movies, and surfing the web is always a plus on the techonological person's chart. But if you do this too long on your Mac, it will eventually overheat, so you will have to let it rest. Another problem with Apple is that it's latest laptop, the Macbook Air, only has one USB insert. So if you want to plug in a thumb - drive and your iPod at the same time, you'll have a slight problem. You will also need to know that wordpads are not compatible with the Apple software or the Apple computers.

Next, there's Microsoft. Microsoft has been the world's most popular technology company in the world for decades, since 1975. Selling millions of computer programs and gaming programs for Xbox and PlayStation, it has been famous worldwide. Microsoft has had an extra one year of experience than Macintosh, approximately thirty - four years. Their Windows software is totally compatible with almost every computer on sale, and it works with any type of plug - in. If you buy a computer with Windows installed into it, Microsoft Office comes with the package, free. Windows is extremely reliable and simple to use. It's also safe if you install an additional anti - virus software. But turn the camera around a bit and look at it from another perspective. Crashes aren't rare in this case. Because more than half of the world uses Windows, professional hackers set their viruses to go into the Windows software. Better get an anti - virus software if you have a Windows software.

There's not much difference between these two companies, since they both are at the same standards. Apple with it's iPods and iPhones, Microsoft and it's softwares for computers and gaming consoles. Both are masterminds that keep creating new things to help us. But they are both tied for the best in the technological universe.
