Microsoft Vs. Apple?

Discussion in 'General Chat' started by Yejin Lee, Jan 23, 2013.

    So, Apple is probably one of the greatest leads in the technology market. Especially of phones and laptops. Of course Microsoft is always going to be the most popular and most used software, but is Apple leading right now? There are tons of debates whether Apple is really leading Microsoft. What do you guys think? Do you think Apple is nearly dominating Microsoft? Or even if it isn't at this moment, do you think it will become much more popular than Microsoft? Please give details!!!

    i think Microsoft is going to be the most popular in all aspects, in the whole world windows users are more than others, also Microsoft is expanding its network through marketing and providing technical skills to students and professionals so everyone is going to use Microsoft technology.apple is very expensive and they have very few users as comparatively to Microsoft

    Personally, I feel that Microsoft will continue ruling the technology market in terms of desktops and laptops due to the OS that they have made a name for themselves in the past. Apple products are exquisite and unique, thus they generate a lot of loyal customers throughout the world. Especially when Steve Job is gone, they have to squeeze their brain juices to come out with extraordinary functionality to suit most people needs, if not, Microsoft will overtake them eventually.

    If you ask me, Microsoft will now take over the computing world. Without Steve Jobs, Apple is nothing.

    A clear indication of this is the constant decline in their share price. It was around $ 700 last year. Now it's at just $ 440.

    R.I.P. Steve.

    R.I.P. Apple.

    This downsizing has nothing to do with our dear Steve's death. And actually, it is his fault that now Apple is falling right into the very hell. 'Cause IPhone 5 was ( and still is) a great disaster to all his fans. And it's not that popular as its previous version. It means only one thing - they made a huge mistake and now the time to pay has come.

    Both are good competitors... and we need both as competition always leads to advancement in technology... Microsoft is bigger than Apple in terms of OS share... Apple tried to penetrate x86 market by making MAC with x86 support but.. no luck so far...

    I prefer Mac for Photoshop and Ai, which takes up most of my computer time. Whenever I use my Windows laptop for Ps or Ai I rage from messing up hotkeys and control clicking.

    Though overall I feel my Mac is better, it seems most jobs require knowledge of Windows.

    Microsoft might not be as good as Apple in many aspects, and Apple might be superior in many others, but to be predominant in the market, price competitiveness is also needed, besides compatibility and Apple has failed to provide computers at affordable prices, while their proprietary OS is still incompatible with tons of the zillion applications available for PCs.

    Now when it comes to iPhone and iPad, it is very clear that Apple is undoubtedly the big winner, while the so-called Microsoft Surface PRO tablet, the third failed Microsoft's attempt to position higher their products on the market.

    Microsoft is number one for me, products are effective and I can say it is globally competitive.

    This argument has been going on, it seems, forever. I became an Apple convert with the introduction of the first iMac, and I'll never go back. Yes, Microsoft will always dominate the computer world, I believe. But that comes at a price. The constant bugs, viruses and never ending crashes are your constant companion. I am the one everyone in the family turns to for this. Slowly, I have converted them all. We are not totally Windowless, but I'm getting us there. I'll happily settle for number 2. In the business world, Microsoft reigns.
