That is because Microsoft had already had it's crazy growth in the 80s and 90s while Apple came out of it's death throes in the 2000s. Not to mention that MSFT gives dividends out to stockholders which keeps rewarding the shareholders and the stock price down.

Both AAPL and MSFT pay dividends with the yield being around 3.5% for MSFT and 2% for AAPL. Dividends seem to be a new post-Jobs thing for AAPL and may not continue into the future.
