Apple vs Microsoft

Its been a couple of weeks since both companies announced their 2009 lineup with Windows 7 and the new Macbook. Now, both companies both competing to be the best and to outwit each other.

The thing is, I was wondering, Apple has a clear advantage. I'll tell you how.

Firstly Microsoft has to supply thousands of different PCs and Laptops all with different specs and features. All of these features have to work with the Operating System. So, in other words, Windows 7 has to work with every single computer out there. That's got the be hard work for the software giant. Just think of all the little features that Windows 7 has to be able to do from BlueTooth to many different network devices. After testing W7 for several months, I have noticed a great difference. It's great and it makes it a lot easier to use a PC again.

You have to remember that W7 is built for every computer out there, which means something must go wrong, it would be quite hard to get it perfect. It has to be able to work with everything.

On the other hard Apple has the high life. What they do is simple. They tell Manufacturers what they want in the product. They will ask for the top notch stuff which costs a bomb. Then all they have

to do is design an operating system that does all that. So basically, when Apple wants Bluetooth and Wifi and many other features built into the Macbook they simply add it into the programme.

Microsoft can't do this because they can't tell companies to have certain products in it. It has to supply to all of the stock. Surely this gives Apple a big advantage as they put what they want in and they can manage it a lot easier.

Also, you have to remember that an Apple based PC will set you back at least £1 000 unlike a Windows based PC were it can be as less that £400.

So when you say to yourself that Apple is the best in the world and that it never crashes and its so stable is because Apple has the luxury of having the best kit with having everything you need as Apple gives you that unlike the PC where you have to do it all by yourself..

Microsoft has done a pretty good job then, if you think about it. It is very stable if you have the kit that a MacBook Pro does and it is fancy and impressive if you get everything working. So, well done Microsoft for making a great operating system because you deserve that even though it still in BETA.
