Better Buy: Apple vs. Microsoft

Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL) and Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT) have battled one another for leadership in the tech industry for nearly 40 years.

Today, both have become radically different companies run by a new generation of leadership. Still, the rivalry between these tech stocks continues. Apple remains a leader in smartphones and wearables. Conversely, Microsoft has successfully redefined itself as a cloud company.

Since both tech giants have positioned themselves to prosper, choosing between them likely hinges on who can drive more near-term growth.
