Apple vs. Windows

Apple and windows, two very different companies right? Well they at one time were partners when Bill Gates was creating the software for apple.  He tried to get apple to purchase the rights to the program but they did not take his advice and just let it be so Bill decided to do it and start making some money, that started the whole apple vs windows issues.   Steve Jobs in my opinion is more of a product sales man then legal wiz like his counter part Bill.  What I  mean is that Bill tries to constantly update his product or software, to maximize his total profit by selling his product to all the computer companies, yes even apple go look at the mac store for your very own copy of Microsoft office or even a dual boot mac with windows! Every new pc sold he gets a little chunk of change that helps keep his business afloat.  Now Steve Jobs on the other hand has gone a different path and tried to put something with apples name on it in the pocket of every person and has just about done that with the ipod.  Now Jobs constantly keeps coming out with new and improved ones or even giant ipods named iPADS, and puts a hefty price tag on it and will keep on making a lot of money doing so.  Bill started off as the better marketer doing a lot of commercials using his young age and looks to help promote his product, to now were he does not really do any advertising.  Now Steve Jobs has gone out and started advertising like a mad man and it has paid off just look, you cant go to any store, not even the local market and not see something apple, even a gift card in the checkout line.  He has even started attacking the pc market with his new commercials of a “young hip guy” playing the mac, and the old fat nerdy guy playing the pc.  Bill has come back with his new windows 7 commercials and I think they are starting to work because I sell electronics, and now I am starting to see a huge increase in people asking for pc laptops now and not mac.
