I don't know about which I respect most, but I prefer Microsoft products over Apple because I'm much more accustomed to them. I have only ever used an Apple computer once in my memory. I had an iPod (don't remember what kind, but it took photos and did much of what a Smartphone does except for calling and texting) many years ago, but only used it to take pictures. On the other hand, I'm very accustomed to several versions of Windows, as well as Microsoft Office, Microsoft Works Word Processor, etc., and therefore like them because I know my way around them best.
I don't have much of an opinion on Google other than that their search engine seems to have really worsened over the years. 10 years ago, it seemed to fetch pretty accurate results, but now the first couple of pages or more are all ads, stupid BuzzFeed posts, or random blog posts. I can ask a question and it will try to recommend me a million products without actually clearly answering the question or leading me to a site that has the answer. If I'm looking for anything very specific, it will show a million results of things that aren't even close but are vaguely the same product, and will show those same things over and over no matter how I change my search. I've also heard they censor a lot of what they don't agree with politically, which I don't agree with at all (and I don't agree with political indoctrination or censorship of politics that one side simply disagrees with, regardless of what side the party doing it is on).
Which tech company is better?
