Relations between the users of Apple and Microsoft computers have never been particularly cordial. Windows users claim they've won the war for the desktop: all you have to do is look at the numbers and you find the most of the world using a Microsoft OS.

The truth is that both operating systems are powerful, especially compared to what either company offered a decade ago.
But while Microsoft's Windows XP (news - web sites) is under a nearly constant assault from new security threats, Apple keeps pushing OS X forward with major updates on an annual basis.
