Apple’s OS X and Windows have been competing for a long time, sporting similar features throughout the years. There have been claims Apple and Microsoft copied each other in one way or another for even some of their most recognizable features (recycling bin anyone?). Despite their similarities and differences, both operating systems have taken different paths, but recent reports have speculated Apple might consider following in Microsoft’s footsteps once again.
With the somewhat misguided design of Windows 8, Microsoft wanted to go into a new direction. Instead of having two separate systems for computers and mobile devices, Windows 8 was designed to work on phones, tablets, and PCs. Meanwhile, Apple stuck with two operating systems: iOS and OS X. Windows 10 continues Microsoft’s attempt at building a successful unified operating system.
