I have an Apple laptop. Not really by choice cause my college kinda forces to buy them. I can say, though, that I grew to like it.

microsoft, I've never had 99% of the problems that Mac users always claim Windows has :P

I do miss the lack of a native unix terminal in Windows though, but that's not really that big a deal.

Microsoft

Didn't have problems either XD Also, Apple is way too expensive and too monopolizing.

Apple's stuff is too expensive, their business practices are disgusting, and their software is too closed off

That... really holds no weight at all when explaining why you like Microsoft more.  >_>

of course it does, though it's not a "why I like Microsoft" reason, it's a "why I dislike Apple" reason, which for the comparative purpose of the question, is totally fine :P

That's like saying "I eat at Burger King because McDonalds is too greasy."  Sure, it's true, and Burger King may be slightly less greasy than McDonalds, but it doesn't mean it isn't still incredibly greasy.

understandable, but in the end, you still like Burger King more than McDonalds. When a question asks "Do you like X or Y more", it doesn't care if you prefer Z to both of them, it wasn't part of the question. It just wanted to know between X and Y. :P

What Ako said.
I gave a reason why I dislike apple :V You just took it the wrong way that I said I completely and utterly love microsoft, but I never said that :x
For me, you have more freedom to choose softwares when you go with microsoft.
