Apple is significantly better than Microsoft. True in terms of user-friendly. But what about almost infinite number of applications for Windows. Every application that I try to use today runs on Windows. Gates will go that extra mile in anti-competitive way to may sure that application developers almost always support Windows platform first. In the worst cast he may even start subsidizing third party application development. The market share of Windows and MAC pretty much tells the whole story. CEO of LINUX says microsoft is the most viscious competitor. But I don't see any help from the government in the real sense in terms of break up of Microsoft.
