Apple Shear Microsoft As Largest IT Company

Microsoft's dominance as the most valuable technology companies in the world has ended. Apple managed to overthrow and now holds the title as the largest technology giants.

At the close of stock trading on Wall Street yesterday, Apple's enterprise value reached U.S. $ 223 billion, while Microsoft's U.S. $ 219 billion. This is the first time that Apple managed to surpass Microsoft. Thus the information quoted from the Wall Street Journal, Thursday (05/27/2010).

Only in terms of revenue, Apple is still under Microsoft, by comparison to U.S. $ 42.9 billion for Apple and Microsoft gets U.S. $ 58.4 billion. While in the last fiscal year, Apple's net income of U.S. $ 5.7 billion, while Microsoft's U.S. $ 14.6 billion.

This event is like a symbol that shows differences in the direction of the two big companies to be able to lead. With the iPhone and iPod, Apple showed that growth continued to soar. In the second quarter of 2010, profits rose 49 percent from a year ago.

While Microsoft is known as the software giant has dominated the realm of computers for nearly two decades. But then, consumers mesmerized by the Apple handheld device. Although it has been trying to emulate Apple with menyebur into the arena of mobile devices and tablet computers, is actually a Microsoft product would still lose prestige.
