Question

In your opinion, who's "better": Microsoft or Apple, and why?

Answer 1

Microsoft has more options, but the tradeoff is less stability and less easy to use. Apple has a nice streamlined interface, but the tradeoff is less options and less software.



Microsoft has tons of free software (www.nonags.com), and what you buy today (or bought yesterday) will work on later versions of windows.



Apple has less software, and it doesn't support capability between it's other versions of its OS.



Microsoft is buggier, cheaper, and more flexible. Apple is easier, reliable, and more expensive.

Answer 2

Apple. I used to be a windows user, then I switched and found that it's what a computer should be. I could go on forever about why Macs are better than PCs, but I have to get to work today. So to sum it up:



1. Stability

2. Performance

3. Looks Amazing



With Windows, rebooting 3-4 times a day for unknown errors became something you get used to, therefore you accept it as "the way it just works". Mac doesn't do that - it actually works.

Answer 3

Microsoft is a software company, Apple is a computer manufacturer there is the difference



Now if your asking which operating system is the best then it has to be Apple and their software is better than MS, but more Expensive



now if your thinking of new operating systems that won't cost you a penny and is better than MS then take a look at Suse Linux you can download it for free and all the software you'll ever need comes with it, or you can buy it with support for $60.00 from below web address

it is called Suse Linux Enterprise Desktop 10.2

Answer 4

I save dreaming about people I even haven't any emotions or choose thus far, and that i dream that i'm in a relationship with them. very last evening grow to be yet another such dream with a chum i have not considered in like 3 months.

Answer 5

Option C



Linux.



It can run on almost anything, and it's getting so user friendly that seniors can use it now...

Stable, easy, and free.

And if you try to claim that Vista's prettier... take a look on YouTube for videos of "Beryl+Linux".

Answer 6

Neither, Microsoft is too big, and has complicated software that costs a lot of money, and is prone to many viruses and spyware. Apple still doesn't have a big enough market share, and its hard to get software for mac.

Answer 7

Who's better depends on what you use your computer for, as they both have their pro's and con's.



But, Once you go mac, you never go back.

Answer 10

Apple are much more reliable

Answer 11

theres more support for microsoft/pc than for mac/apple ...

Answer 12

Define "better", if you mean better by quality, reliability then of course Apple is better, if you mean better by flexibility, functionality then Microsoft is better.



I won't advice anyone but the professional multimedia user to switch to Mac OS. Because Apple is foolish and greedy, they want to earn money but they are doing it wrong, they should allow their OS to work in PCs and provide support for plenty of languages and hardware just like Microsoft, but I think they are just afraid of being in the fast lane!



Note: I'm comparing the operating systems not the hardware.
