Good day everyone!

I just thought I would share with you some of my opinions on how could Microsoft ever compete with Apple and more important: what’s to be created from each company, because Apple has obviously increased its lead over Microsoft over the past 5-10 years. Microsoft and Apple have pretty much been the two biggest competetors in the Computer/Electronics Industry. And honestly, I can’t wait to see what their competetion is like in a few years once technology starts to advance.

This whole idea came to me one day when I was viewing the Apple Website and reviewing the products that Microsoft has tried to compete with such as (iPod = Zune). I think that no other company could ever catch up to the Apple iPod and their lead in the personal media player industry, because Microsoft’s design of the Zune doesn’t pop out at you and scream “BUY ME!” when you look at it as the iPod Classic, iPod Nano, and now iPod Touch do.And as far as operating systems go, Apple and Microsoft have been closely competing for the top spot. Although Microsoft has more users using Windows; Apple’s operating system Mac OS X is slowly but surely creeping up behind Microsoft.

The New Operating systems of 2007 from Microsoft and Apple are im sure all of you know; Windows Vista & Mac OS X Leopard.

WINDOWS VISTA

-Windows Vista was released January 30, 2007 and I have heard more complaints about Vista being the worst operating system ever made and that some people would rather use Windows 95, which from the computer I used Vista on didn’t seem like a reasonable statement. Although upgrading your operating system only and not you’re computer too is probabably the main problem; due to driver updates and what not.

Mac OS X Leopard

-Mac OS X Leopard was released very recently on October 26, 2007. I have heard from numerous different ‘new Leopard’ users that they think it actually makes their computer more powerful for doing things that they usually do, which I’m not sure if that is true or not.But either way, I think Leopard looks much more clean and ready to be used over Vista. I mean, just the box for Vista looks complicating. Haha. But I think if Microsoft wants to get back in the race that they need to think of something very original that people will really want to use.

Well, that’s my opinion, I hoped you enjoyed it!!!Thanks, and Good Day everyone!
