Microsoft and Apple have always been competing. Apple is clearly the best in software and hardware. However, Apple’s problem is that Macs are often more expensive than many Windows machines. Microsoft’s huge advantage is that they have hundreds of PC, smartphone, and PlaysForSure makers and partners. To be able to build a computer yourself and have it run XP is another large advantage. On top of that, since many schools see the majority of the world run Windows, they too use XP and the like. Apple is great, and so is OSX, but Windows so greatly outnumbers Apple that Apple is really not really neck and neck with Windows. My question is, who should Apple partner with to make their computers cheaper, more available, and a viable opponent for Windows?
An Apple VS. Microsoft Dilemma - Innovation VS. Mass Marketing?
