Apple or Microsoft? By MatJ

By MatJ (Age 13)

What do you think is better? Apple or Microsoft? Apple is fast and makes MP3 players but they are really expensive. Microsoft make good computers with lots of programs but can be slow and boring. Microsoft are most popular of course. PLEASE leave comments.

    Microsoft is better because 1. They have made windows 7 that is really good. And 2. Because more people know how to use it

    They are both rubbish. Linux (Ubuntu) is best, hands down, because it's free, quicker, more fun, less locked in (like iPods are locked into iTUnes) and anyone can write programs for it. Also it updates better. Look it up:

  • 432loaderb (Age 14) wrote on Saturday, 24 April 2010 @ 21:36

    aples are way better from my view coz i have one and it is sooo cool and quick and u can get better things on it and........ it is just better!!!! :-)

    Apple has hardly and computor games for it. Before I blert it out... Computors arnt about looks oh no, its the PREFORMANCE. Ipods? I bet if Microsoft made a mp3 and mp4 players they would win by a mile after a year of so.

    Apples are the best because they have lots of cool apps.

  • cbborfmm (Age 15) wrote on Sunday, 12 September 2010 @ 14:15

    I'd have to say microsoft. Apples are cool and all, but cost way too much, and if you do even the tiniest thing to it, Apple voids your warranty. Plus, the microsoft OS is so much better than the Mac.

    I agree with redhorse10! Microsoft is deffo better but Apple is cooler. :)

  • Anya2000 (Age 11) wrote on Friday, 31 December 2010 @ 19:00

    Both of them are great, but I think Steve Jobs is more creative than Bill Gates. I prefer Apple and my dad is an absolute fan!

  • Anya2000 (Age 11) wrote on Friday, 31 December 2010 @ 19:02

    I also like the fact that apple has new generations. I mean, here I am, using my dad's airbook next to his Macbook, and with my Macbook pro charging. And then my mum gave it to me because the airbook came out!

  • Carrera2 (Age 11) wrote on Thursday, 6 January 2011 @ 19:49

    Microsoft is way better because when I tried to use a macbook in an apple store I couldn't even find out how to go on the internet!!

  • PeaceLove (Age 12) wrote on Wednesday, 12 January 2011 @ 19:15

    Internet on Apple is called Safari! :)

  • Kingkezzi (Age 11) wrote on Monday, 31 January 2011 @ 12:57

    I like both of them but I prefer Microsoft because it's easier to use and it came with Microsoft Office normally whereas Apples don't. Apples look much nicer though!!!

  • CandyEllz (Age 11) wrote on Friday, 18 March 2011 @ 18:53

    For computers, its gotta be Microsoft, they are much less expensive and just as good quality as apple. For iPods ect. Apple, because they are really stylish and good. But everyone has their own opinion.

  • mabli (Age 9) wrote on Tuesday, 22 March 2011 @ 08:28

    The man who made microsoft made Bing and enternet explorar and he made a lot of the computer.So I think microsoft because of that and I never my family have an apple.

  • hansolo (Age 13) wrote on Wednesday, 23 March 2011 @ 17:20

    APPLE!!!!!!!!!! They're much better disignt, and a lot faster and easier to use. I have my own iMac. Onc I hat to restart a Microsoft computer because I wanted to plug in my USB stick.

    sorry mabli, but hes not called "the man who made microsoft", hes called bill gates. "The man who made Apple" (steve jobs) is better in my opinnion. Did you know that he programed the second Videogame ever?

  • rhianna9 (Age 10) wrote on Sunday, 27 March 2011 @ 13:00

    Well i would maybe say apple because they make music players for example MP3 players and ipods etc. aswell as making laptops which in my opinion is better because they are making a wide range of different things!

  • Mop (Age 12) wrote on Thursday, 31 March 2011 @ 17:24

  • jellyslug (Age 13) wrote on Monday, 11 April 2011 @ 18:40

    I think they are both good. In some ways I would say apple because everything is 'smooth' and 'clean' if you know what I mean! I would also say Microsoft though because I know how to use it and on apple you can't download certain things such as some games

  • peace111 (Age 12) wrote on Thursday, 21 April 2011 @ 11:37

    apple cuz i have only been on microsoft a few times at my friends house

  • neemtree (Age 12) wrote on Friday, 15 July 2011 @ 11:28

    Microsoft made the first operating system so they are better in a way but apples look a lot nicer and cooler (i like the white!)

  • RedCar96 (Age 12) wrote on Sunday, 17 July 2011 @ 09:37

    Tough choice! I like the Windows 7 Professional System and I like the Apple Mac Snow leopard system but which is better? There's only one way to find out... FIGHT!

  • Matimo (Age 11) wrote on Monday, 18 July 2011 @ 19:41

    I myself couldn't face having to use windows 24/7 as I use the computer ALOT. At myhouse, we have a MacBook Pro, a MacMini, an iMac and a PowerBook G4. At school I get REALLY impatieant with the computers. Macs are definately worth the money and I reccomend linuz if you don't have the money for one.

  • mustang (Age 11) wrote on Thursday, 28 July 2011 @ 19:46

    Now I think that apple and microsoft are both good.

  • RedCar96 (Age 12) wrote on Monday, 8 August 2011 @ 11:09

    I would probably have Windows 7 Pro as the apple system now drives me through the roof!

  • redhorse10 (Age 14) wrote on Thursday, 18 August 2011 @ 18:36

    Yeah, PeaceLove! I went on an Apple Mac and it has Safari! At first I got a bit confused! Windows 7 is really good. :)

  • alexcool (Age 11) wrote on Wednesday, 24 August 2011 @ 13:59

    I would say apple because they make things that you can take anywhere but microsoft make PC's an the occasional Windows phone

    I prefer Microsoft as ease of use but I like the features of Apple. By the way Matj microsoft do not make computers but they do make the Xbox and Kinect.

  • redhorse10 (Age 14) wrote on Tuesday, 15 November 2011 @ 19:00

    Defoe, though that is very true, they could make cheaper phones. It's ridiculous that they want to charge £600 for some of their phones, and it just isn't worth it. And you can blame Apple, who else is to blame? :)

  • pipapip (Age 12) wrote on Monday, 28 November 2011 @ 19:38

    Did you know it costs Apple £110 to make an iPhone4 and they sell it for 4x the price!!! Microsoft because of Powerpoint, Office, Outlook, Word.....

  • musicluva (Age 12) wrote on Friday, 13 April 2012 @ 09:46

    I do not really mind to be honest. At school, the computers are usually microsoft so when u have some homework which needs to be done on the computer, then you need a microsoft computer. But apple is very smart. It has loads of apps which could be for buisness or just for fun. I have a microdoft laptop and a apple mac. I prefer both so I do not really mind.
