microsoft is a software giant involve in many sector and have alot of competitors. eg. for Operating System, they main rival will b from Mac, on internet domain (search engine), it will be with google, etc...
lenovo is a china company that bought over IBM thinkpad rights. If not wrong, is currently 4 or 5th leading (mainly in the laptop sector), with Hp leading, follow by Acer and dell.
mcdonald's is Burger King, which u are right.
nokia is a Finland base mobile phone giant company which for the 1st time made lost. It lost is share of the market due to the rise in smart phone sector, mainly as a result of iphone and samsung rather then sony Ericsson. but u are right as sony ericsson currently hold the 2nd largest market shares followed by samsung.
swatch are fashion time pieces rather then classic high end watch makers. hence i would compare them to timex or casio or something. sorry cant really help u there.
swatch - Richemont, LVMH

Microsoft i know quite alot of rivals. sony's playstation rivaling its xbox 360. Apple. Google's search engine, Google's chrome os, Google's chrome browser. talking about google why dont she try googling. several anti virus software?
mcdonald's isn't it's rival kfc? long time rival i thought. hmmm.
swatch watches should be casio. remember baby g?
Microsoft is a software giant. So any software company that which handles OS, wordprocessing, www applications, games, can be a competitor. It is like asking to name the competitor for Mitsubishi where Mitsubishi Electric deals in air-con and electronic products, Mitsubishi Motors can also be dealing in vehicles, can be a bank (bank of tokyo-mitsubishi ufj), can also be Mitsubishi Chemicals.
LOL, seriously, no wrong or right answers as long it is a software company with a product that rivals microsoft's.
