Apple has always branded Mac as a Cool chap’s digital accessory and highlighted PC(indirectly Microsoft Windows) as an orthodox guy’s choice.

And the features of Mac outshine Windows in majority of the areas(specially in user experience).But Microsoft is still the OS Monopolist due to its deep roots and hardware independency.
