Funny Apple VS Microsoft

Apple looks poised to get within $50 billion of Microsoft market cap any day now. Currently, Apple’s market cap is $208.76 billion, while Microsoft’s is $261.01 billion. And while $50 billion may seem like a huge chasm, consider that since December 31, 2009, just a few months ago, Apple has added about $20 billion to its market cap, while Microsoft has lost about $10 billion. Again, the gap is closing, quickly.

There was an announcement that should have caused tech investors to do a double take: Apple passed Microsoft’s value to become the new king of tech. That’s right: Apple’s market cap is now $240 billion, while Microsoft, yesterday’s standard-bearer, is sitting at $235 billion. If you’re not immediately shocked, you may want to look back at the start of this millennium. Back in 2000, Microsoft was worth around $500 billion and Apple was picking at the edges with $16 billion, even sinking as low as $4 billion at its post-dot-com-bubble lows.  Over the past decade, Apple’s stock kept rising, and Microsoft’s kept doing what it has gotten so good at of late — kind of limping along. Now that the two companies are about equal in price, Fool.com analyst Eric Bleeker wants to know which one is the stronger buy.

Well, most probably is depend on what do you want to do with your computer. Let’s check out the funny Apple Vs Microsoft pictures and videos!
