There is no real controversy. Apple just sells a superior computer to any Windows computer built. That is where you will see the argument. Most Apple users were former Windows users. You would be hard pressed to find an Apple user that would ever go back to using a Windows PC. And most people that bad mouth Apple have never even owned an Apple computer. I have owned both and Apple just makes a computer that works day in and day out with no problems. Yes, they do cost more but they are well worth the price.

There was no lawsuit between Microsoft and Apple in 1985.
There are definitely differences in the companies. They are in constant competition with each other. One huge difference between the Microsoft and Apple organization cultures is secrecy. Apple has rumors fly about and Microsoft leaks previews of their stuff.

Microsoft office can be installed on Macs, although there is a different version than Windows. There is little relationship between the two. Apple macs are only produced by Apple and no one else, whereas any company can make a PC running microsoft. Steve Jobs (founder of Apple) and Bill Gates (founder of Microsoft) used to work together, but went their separate ways.
Apple has not once been part of Microsoft.
Today Microsoft produces a range of software for Apple's Macintosh computers and Apple produces software for computers running Microsoft's Windows operating system. There has been a friendly rivalry between the two companies for many years. In their early days Microsoft was employed by Apple to produce software for them. This relationship evolved and Microsoft licensed some aspects of the Macintosh operating system from Apple to use in their own version which they called Windows. Microsoft started using more of Apple's ideas than they had been allowed to by the licensing deal and they also "acquired" some of the QuickTime programming code which they used in their own media player. This resulted in a long running legal dispute between the two companies. In general Microsoft has taken more from Apple than Apple has taken from Microsoft.
Apple works is not an oxymoron but Microsoft Works is.
