When we talk about operating systems it is unthinkable not to refer to Mac and Windows, Apple and Microsoft as the most visible heads of this eternal struggle . A battle that became popular with campaigns like Get a Mac and that has seen how others have gradually taken over. Sega with Nintendo at the time, Android versus iOS, Sony and PlayStation against the world…"
There have always been rivalries and as good contenders the most logical thing is not to give in and always brag about the platform you defend .But there comes a time when the truth no longer stings... you just can't hide it and that's what they seem to have thought since Cupertino.
Mac OS is an excellent platform, there's no denying that, and you've done a great job with your teams. But in recent times it seems that Microsoft has eaten the ground in terms of innovation and appeal to the public and that is something that ends up leaving its mark.
And today, taking advantage of the news regarding the new Mac Pro and iMac, the people of Apple in a briefing with TechCrunch, have revealed that there are almost 100 million users Mac assets A number that at first may sound very good (it's a good number) but it only confirms Microsoft's success in desktop systems.
"Having a Mac doesn&39;t seem so cool anymore"
"And it is that while Apple stays with those 100 million maquero users, Windows 10 computers in PC format officially reach 400 millionA figure four times higher that confirms Microsoft&39;s historical superiority in terms of desktops. What&39;s more, some numbers suggest there are more than 1 billion computers running Windows, not just Windows 10."
From Apple, despite these numbers, which are not bad, they seem not to be entirely happy with the sales of their equipment , contrary to what happens with Windows computers. And it is something that in theory cannot be compared or at least should not be, because while Apple only has a line of computers, Microsoft has an army of third-party manufacturers to integrate its platform.
With the arrival of the Surface Studio Apple has seen its professional range more than ever with the iMac and Mac Pro at the forefront they have lost the charm and exclusivity that supposed, which has motivated them to announce that this year we will see new iMac and later new Mac Pro.And as users we like it, we love this competition from which we will surely benefit.
