Well for starters, everyone knows what Microsoft and Apple are. You can't really compare these two companies because Microsoft makes more items than Apple. You can though compare two of the same things that they have. Both companies have their good and bad.
1. PC or Mac: Lets get this out of the way. Microsoft does not make the actual computer and monitor, they only make the operating system and other accessories. Apple on the other hand makes their own hardware and operating system (this is why they are much more expensive, not because it is better). PCs are meant for gaming, business, home some media. Macs on the other hand have a lot of fun and useful media features like iMovie. PCs are usually faster than Macs but not always. PCs are more prone to viruses which is not that good, but with the newer PCs it's becoming better with controlling viruses. Seeing that 90% of the world have PCs compared to Macs- 7%, PCs probably have the monopoly over the market because of low prices.
2. Apple iPod or Microsoft Zune: More people have iPods than Zunes. iPods have many more applications than the Zune. Zunes are good but iPods just seem to be more elastic, with more features and applications. Although sometimes things can get a little pricey with Apple the iPod/iPod Touch/iPhone.
As of now, Microsoft has stopped manufacturing Zunes.
3.Microsoft Office or iWork: Both of these programs are pretty good but Office is much more used compared to iWork. Both Pages and Word are perfectly adequate word processor and page layout programs, however Word generally has more features, and the approach to the user interface taken by Apple and Microsoft are quite different. Both Word and Pages allow you to type, colour, style text with fixed style, have auto-correction and can track changes. On balance Pages probably has better templates though Word's are fairly good too. Pages includes a powerful template-making feature, and handles the creation of paragraph and text styles with more ease than Word. Pages is weaker on footnotes and endnotes (you have to choose one or the other), it also lacks citation manager. Additionally, unlike Microsoft Word, it doesn't include a built in equation editor. However if you install LaTeX you can use LaTeXiT with iWork which may be preferable as it is much faster to use than Word's equation editor. When dealing with large documents Pages can take significantly more RAM. Most users find that Pages is faster than Word. Many users have noticed that Word often "lags" when typing, sometimes by several seconds between typing and seeing text appear.
Numbers and Excel are both spreadsheet programs though they are designed to be used in different ways. Numbers, currently at version 1.0, has far fewer features than Excel, although its use of multiple tables per sheet is excellent for basic tasks, such budgeting and holiday itineraries as you can use multiple tables per page as well as easily apply colour schemes and summation rows to each table. Excel only supports a single, essentially infinitely sized table per sheet, however is more suitable for demanding business, professional and academic uses, while handling the simpler tasks reasonably well.
Unlike Numbers, Excel supports advanced charting and enables plotting multiple lines of data at once as well as error bars. Excel also handles true scatter plots and curve-fitting. While Numbers' charting options are limited, many would agree that Numbers' charts look better than those from Excel. While charting options in Numbers are lacking, Numbers does support all the same formula commands as Excel, meaning that sophisticated calculations are possible in Numbers.
As with Pages and Word, Apple and Microsoft take a very different approach to the user interface in Numbers and Excel. Veteran Excel users will likely require some adjustment transitioning to Numbers. The current version of Numbers performs very slowly with large data sets. When exporting from Numbers to Excel, each table becomes a separate worksheet in Excel, and a new worksheet is added indicating that the work has been exported. This can be inconvenient when collaborating with others who use Excel.
Keynote and PowerPoint are both presentation creating applications. Keynote is widely regarded as being superior and was used by Al Gore to create "An Inconvenient Truth" as well as for Steve Jobs' Keynote presentations at MacWorld and WWDC as well as other Apple Special Events. Keynote features a wide array of templates and transition effects. Keynote can open PowerPoint files, although some reformatting will probably be required after conversion to the Keynote format. Keynote exports presentations in several file formats, including QuickTime and Flash. Keynote files cannot directly be opened in Windows and as such you have to convert the file first which depending on the route can cause loss of formatting / transitions.
With Microsoft dominating with its monopoly in this part of the market, Apple will need to lower prices and really show that Macs are good.
