The aggressive rival has taken place as both the companies have a search engine set for public and the e-mail system. Also Windows Phone 7 of Microsoft competes with Google’s Android devices.

Apple:

While various reports and criticism about the company’s business practices and work environment are aired, Apple could pullout Google talents. Around 156 Xooglers reportedly joined the Apple. And Apple is also one among the top five desired company for grads. It is not surprising while most of the employers want their products should be used by ten millions of people every day.
