Just IMO (in my opinion)...
There is a better way to make this query:
Do you prefer Microsoft or Macintosh computers? _________________ Billie Jean is not my lover. Hee. |

The reason "more" is necessary is this (for example):
"Do you like Microsoft or Macintosh computers?"
"Yes, I like Microsoft or Macintosh computers."
You see, as the question is written, choosing between the two computers is not mandatory -- you could answer that, yes, you like Microsoft computers... you like neither... you like both... etc.
"Do you like Microsoft or Macintosh computers?" does not force the respondent to voice his preference for one.
When you ask, "Do you prefer Microsoft or Macintosh computers?" or "Do you like Microsoft or Macintosh computers more?" -- the person you are asking is forced to state his preference. _________________ Billie Jean is not my lover. Hee. |
