The Epic Battle

In my past life, I have purchased both a Dell running Windows and a Macbook running Mac OS X Tiger. It has come to my attention that people these days just can't decide what company or brand to get.

I have put together a brief page about which one is right for you. So, now the battle between Apple and Microsoft begins.

Apple:

Apple is a great company with loving customers. For example, their iPods were phenomenal and the iMacs are just outstanding. Apple is mainly designed for personal use like at home. It has many features including better music players, tools to help you get the stuff you need done, and many other programs to organize your life a little better.

The Pros:

  • iLife is a like a at-home work station
  • iTunes, a master music player and sync station for iPod
  • Garageband, Make your own music!
  • .Mac, this is probably the favorite thing of mine, its like an online library.
  • The Graphics!

The Cons:

  • A little hard to get used to at first.
  • Not many programs compatible with its Operating System

The Verdict:

Overall, I think Apple has done terrifically well in these few years and lets applaud Apple for it.

Microsoft

Lets face it, has Microsoft dominated your computer life for quite awhile. Microsoft's corporation is just amazing. They have the widest variety of programs, software, and tools. Microsoft is directed at business. The programs we use everyday such as Word, Powerpoint, and Excel are just awesome. Business companies would run amok without these excellent programs.

The Pros:

  • Outstanding variety of programs and tools.
  • Excellent Compatibility with programs.
  • Very easy to get used to, almost as if you've known it your whole life.
  • A wide range of tools to help your company and business

The Cons:

  • If used for too long, can get a little boring
  • Not as many personal amusement programs

The Verdict:

Microsoft is just amazing. Even if they have little frauds, overall, they are awesome.

Conclusion

So as we draw to a close, I have finally decided the winner. Both of these hard-working companies have made it to this century. Not bad don't you think? And now, for the winner (Drum roll please).

Winner: Us

We are the winners because, well with these two outstanding companies to back us up, what could possible go wrong? So go out there, and buy a computer with either Mac OS X or Microsoft Windows!
