What is the bigger fight for Apple, Apple vs. Microsoft or Apple vs. Android/Google?

It definitely shifted towards Google and the Android OS. Microsoft isn't relevant in the eyes of Apple executives anymore. In fact, both Apple AND Microsoft shifted their fight towards Google, especially if you look at the patent war going on in the mobile industry, literally everyone who's anyone is getting sued there.

Google poses a HUGE threat to both Apple and Microsoft, and both companies clearly see the threat.

microsoft is not coming to an end you M****N they have new product to come windows 8 tablet/desktop ,kinect for windows ,windows phone mango ,new xbox 360 and their windows live essential 2011 is better than icloud

The problem with Google is that nearly every service is free because of the ads. It's very hard to compete with that. It wouldn't surprise me if in the future Google does an Apple and builds an OS out of Linux and sells it for PCs. Yeah I know of Chrome OS but I was thinking about something a little beefier. With more and more services working through the cloud it's a good possibility.

Apple is comming larger in the computer industry and isn't in much direct competition with microsoft. But in the mobile phone industry, Apple is competing with Google.

Apple vs Microsoft doesn't exist anymore. Microsoft is coming to an end and they know it. That is why they are threatening everyone with patent lawsuits and not telling anyone what the patents actually are. They are in their last days and lashing out just trying to survive.

microsoft shud focus more on developing their own hardware with regards to the consumer pc and notebooks, they need good design, windows 7 rocks, microsoft has to make these type of moves

apple is doing fine for now, they r quite strong, their products are better than android

Microsoft is a thing of the past xD

Google is Apples biggest fight.

i don't think apple has competition with google or microsoft. i mean obviously they're competitors, but they have very different ideas on how a computer or phone should be. on what a customer will choose one company will be if they like a machine that is more stable but less customizable or more customizable and less stable. google and microsoft are more comparable. but apple does things very different from both. it ultimately comes down to the consumers preference and use for the machine they buy.
