In what sense is Microsoft more successful than Apple? Apple has a revenue of $42.9 billion (2009 figure) compared to Microsoft's $40.2 billion (2010 figure). It is true that Microsoft is a larger company with 89,000 employees (Apple has 34,300 employees) but they are different companies doing different things which occasionally overlap but are not in direct competition. Apple produces a range of hardware - computers, phones, etc. that Microsoft does not. When they do operate in the same market, for example Apple's iPod and Microsoft's Zune, Apple is around 10 times more successful than Microsoft.

Apple computers are more expensive because there hardware is more expensive and more advanced. Apple does not provide a cheaper option. Also, Microsoft and Apple are quite different. Microsoft does not make laptops or computers, Apple does. Microsoft puts there products (O/S and MS Office) onto different makes of laptops and computers like Samsung, HP, Fujutsu, sony etc). Apple provide the full system - the computer hardware and O/S. Apple and Microsoft are only similar by making the O/S.
