Who needs PPCs and iPods for competition? Heck, MS and Apple have been at each other since the dawn of time! :wink:

You know, it's almost Apples and Oranges...pardon the pun. MS is a software company, Apple is a hardware company that has a bit of software. I guess the battle is over the software parts like iTunes and OSes, but why don't they stick to their area of expertise? What happened to MS hardware? Gone.

I wouldn't say Apple is exclusively hardware devoted with a bit of software stints splashed into it. Their processors are unique, but a lot of their other peripherals such as the video card are Apple-specific variants of other makes such as the Radeon for example. In terms of hardware, Microsoft do make mice and keyboards, so I wouldn't say there isn't any MS hardware around...although they did phase out of the joystick department. :p

The "battle" between Apple and Microsoft is more software based - who has the better OS that complements their hardware system, etc. etc. I think the "battle" between the two is more for "fun" than anything serious. :wink:
