13 Reasons Why Microsoft is Much Better than Apple

#1

Windows 10 provides a better user experience at multi-tasking than Apple OS X because here you can just drag an open window to the top of the screen to full-screen it or to the side to make it fill half the screen. It's handy for multitasking.

#2

Cortana is said to be more intuitive than Apple's Siri in terms of learning its user's preferences over time. Also, Cortana is easily accessible from Windows 10 taskbar and is available on iPhone & Android too. However, Siri is only available on iPhone & iPad, not even Mac OS X.

Microsoft was pretty much the first to bring in a combination of tablet and laptop with its Microsoft Surface Book while Apple was too second when it came out with the iPad Pro.

#8

Microsoft has been experimenting with apps for Android & iPhone and making impressive advancements like the Hub Keyboard - it reduces the time required to switch between apps.

Even though Apple has iWork but Microsoft Office still leads the way in offering the best document creation and editing suite for mobile users.

#11

People App is by far one of the best apps available on Windows or any other platforms for that matter. It integrates all your updates from Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn in one single app.

While iMessage only lets you interact with other iPhone users, Microsoft lets you interact with your friends on any platform by integrating Facebook Messaging as a default.

Microsoft Has Bing - Apple Has Nothing! :p

#13

You can still run a 20-year-old application on the new Windows 10 but you can't run a 5-year-old Apple application on the new Apple OS X. This is the harsh reality of the Apple world!

So, Apple maybe all elegant & slick, given its philosophy of simplicity behind all its products & even the brand as an entirety but Microsoft is equally cool & smart as well. What if these companies worked on a single device together! Wonders would happen definitely.
