After Many Years of Battle, Apple Market Value Superseded Microsoft
Joanne Lam — May 27, 2010 — Tech
The battle for the “biggest tech company” title between Apple and Microsoft has finally overturned this week: Having come out with so many innovative products within the last decade, the Apple market value superseded Microsoft on Wednesday, when, according to Reuters, Apple ended at $222 billion, compared with Microsoft’s $219 billion.
This should come as no surprise to many of the Mac users who have switched over from previous Microsoft systems. It will take a lot more than luck for Microsoft to match the growth that Apple has gained since the new millennium. Have you made the switch (yet)?
