Is Apple better than Microsoft?
I think it is. It’s far more user friendly than Microsoft, in my opinion. Also I find their hardware to be of higher quality and their software is more secure and works better for what it does. Something I’ve noticed is that everytime Windows comes out with a new operating system, they seldom have anything “new” that Apple hasn’t already done.

I have 4 PC’s at home, all Microsoft and to throw an Apple in there doesn’t fit my compatible requirements. I s
