First things first. This post will no where relate to OS war, its just a homepage war of two giants.

Most of the web designers will work like a donkey to make sure their web template or the blogging themes are w3c Compliant. Yet most web designers will fail to get it valid.

But here the two giants has a massive bunch of people working for their company day and night, but yet they have failed in creating a w3c compliant WebPages (HTML). At least, they could’ve made their homepages valid. :p (No offense meant).

Here are the results of the validation from w3c validation.

Number of errors in www.apple.com : 10
Number of errors in *www.microsoft.com/en/us/default.aspx: 27

Validation result pages: Apple.com & Microsoft.com

Note: Do remember that the number of errors keeps changing, because those people keep updating their homepages every now and then.

And the results of few other popular website:

en.wikipedia.org | Errors: 0
Wordpress.org | Errors: 2
Yahoo.com | Errors: 34
Intel.com | Errors: 50
Ubuntu.com | Errors: 54

Oh, our favorite site:
thinkdigit.com | Errors: 178 + (no Doctype found)!

Damn, I forgot to give the verdict between apple.com and Microsoft.com.

Verdict:
And the winner is, Apple.com :p

You know what's going to happen here, don't you?

Apple Fanboy: Apple Home page better
MS Fanboy : Who cares? MS stuff better!
Apple Fanboy : You've got to be shi***** me!

and so on, and so forth.

Design wise Apple's website is miles ahead of Microsoft's. Infact it one of the best looking websites I've ever seen.

The reason why apple.com has less error is coz the content in its homepage is very less. But where as microsoft's homepage is screwed.

I dont agree. Microsoft homepage is much better now.

Apple homepage is having a big image on homepage. Do you really think posting a 3D image make better website??

MS sets its own standards and they want world to follow
