Many people have their own opinions why either are better than the other, but my opinion is Apple is better. Reasons ___________ * Reason 1: Apple have small wireless keyboards and mouses small enough to fit in a luggage, and letters are still touchable and aren't too small, but Microsoft is big and can't fit anywhere also isn't wireless * Reason 2: Apple has many more products than Microsoft it has it's own Apple computer, Ipods, Ipads, Iphones, and many more also, Apple has it's very own and very popular website "Itunes", but Microsoft only has it's very own computer and it's very own popular website "Microsoft Word" *Reason 3: The Apple company had to sue Microsoft for creating a brand similar to Apple, because Microsoft copied the Apple computer into making the Microsoft computer, but Apple still let them sell their computers *BONUS REASON: The Stock Market on Apple is higher than Microsoft it is very popular many talk about it on TV Creator of Companies: Apple - Steve Jobs Microsoft - Bill Gates So those are my reasons why I think Apple is better.


Will Apple eventually take over Microsoft?

As long as apple continues to be available only for mac computers, offering only one choice of hardware, Microsoft Windows will be the obvious choice for anyone who does not want a mac, and is probably the reason why apple today only own about 8% of the OS market vs Microsoft at 73%. The only reason why apple is worth more than Microsoft is because most of their revenue come from ipads, iphones, ipods, and a range of other i products in contrast to Microsoft as a pure software company.
