Apple is mostly a hardware company, and Microsoft is mostly a software company.
Microsoft makes operating systems to work on as many computers as they can. As a result they have to deal with making their software work with all kinds of third party stuff. It's a serious challenge, and they do a pretty good job of it.
Apple makes their operating system to work on their hardware only, so they have an easier time of writing drivers, etc.
