The days of rivalry between Microsoft and Apple have passed long ago! The first provides some of the best apps for Apple's iPhone and Apple recently repaid its love in one of the most legendary on‑stage events!
As the second most valuable company in the world, Apple draws all the attention when it comes to technology! But Microsoft has done some very significant things that Apple hasn't even discussed yet! In reality, Apple is influenced in many areas by the former!
See 12 things that Microsoft does better:
As you might guess from the name, Windows handles application windows better than Apple's OS X. In Windows 10 you can simply drag an open window to the top to make it full screen or just move it to the side and fill half the screen. Very handy for multitasking!
In contrast to Apple's Siri, Cortana learns many of your preferences! And even better, Cortana, besides Windows, is also available on iPhone and Android, while Siri is found only on iPhone and iPad.

Apple's operating system X hasn't changed much in recent years! But from Windows 7 to 8 and up to 10, Microsoft has removed, added again and transformed its Start Menu. Now you can find files and applications faster and get basic information without having to open any application!
Windows have always been better for gaming than Macs. With Windows 10, Microsoft made this experience even better with a new Xbox app that essentially allows you to transfer your games from the Xbox One console to your laptop, tablet, or PC.

Microsoft is better in cloud services than Apple. With apps like OneNote or OneDrive you can have your files and apps anywhere and at any time!
The hardware businesses of the big Gates company have been doing very well when it comes to revisiting what a computer is and for whom it is! For example, the Microsoft Surface Book, a combination of tablet and laptop, has so much power to play most marquee games.
In reality, more or less Apple copied the Surface Pro 4 tablet to make its own iPad Pro!
And while the big company has lost the game in the smartphone market to Apple and Google, let's not forget that some things that Windows 10 Mobile has, iPhones do not. First, they have a smooth appearance and large, easy-to-press buttons…
…And some other features that can impress you, such as Windows Continuum, which lets you use the Windows 10 Mobile phone like a full computer! With limited app support, of course, but still.
Microsoft has also been doing better in recent years and in experimentation! It includes various experimental applications it has released for Android and iPhone, including the recent Hub Keyboard which reduces the time switching between applications.

Experimentation also applies to advanced scientific research. Microsoft Research contributes findings on many things from voice recognition to artificial intelligence! Now this leads to futuristic technologies such as the holographic glasses HoloLens.
Overall, Microsoft is good at playing with others! According to the CEO, Satya Nadella, the company has made most of its applications available and for’ other platforms.
Of course all this is for fun. If you want to choose between the Apple MacBook or a Surface Pro the decision is yours but undoubtedly Microsoft has done some remarkable things!
