THAT JUST HAPPENED.
No really, it did. In trading today, Apple eclipsed Microsoft’s total market capitalization value for the first time ever. Apple stock was trading earlier today for $247.62, giving Apple a total value of $225.57 billion. Its rival, Microsoft, was trading at $25.38 with a total market cap of $223.83 billion. This marks the first time that Apple’s market capitalization value has trumped Microsoft’s.

I’m sure MS are ok with that, given their own investment in Apple.
@Chris
Microsoft sold their share in Apple a while ago, which is a shame, as today it would be valued at around 7.4 billion USD.
First time since 1990, that is. =)

Without Microsoft, Apple wouldn’t exist.
