I love all the people who heckle Windows threads who believe that they are somehow “special” after they were able to figure out how to install some form of Linux on a computer.
People who rely on Apple products are on the opposite end of the spectrum. They usually do not have a desire to get into the nuts and bolts of an operating system and just want to get their work done. For some reason they typically do not feel the need to heckle those of us who use various versions of Windows.
There seems to be something about Linux that causes those who have sworn off Windows to post one liners that are found amusing only by other Linux users. I have no idea what it is. I have been using Linux and Windows for decades and I appreciate what both have to offer.
I never buy Apple anything. I don't like the way these clowns roll. Such as when they messed around with Georgia over some trans or gay thing.
Here are my Microsoft positives:
----Windows 11 works for me. This may be bloated compared to Linux. But todays CPUs amd RAM can easily deal with bloat and are inexpensive.
----Bing search works for me. Using it for the last five years. Google search was too manipulated
--- Bing AI search can be very helpful and fun to get insta-results. Though politics and Covid19 are slanted (programmed) to tilt left
---- Their Edge browser works very well. But has so many features, that it might be slower than others.
----Due to constant AI buzz and propaganda >>> Microsoft's market cap is larger than Apple's
There’s about to be a new king of the stock-market jungle.
Microsoft Corp. is set to become the most highly valued U.S. company ever, surpassing the record market capitalization set by long-time leader Apple Inc.
Microsoft’s stock has been on a roll this year, as it has ridden the artificial-intelligence and cloud-computing wave. In contrast, Apple shares have lost ground, as the iPhone maker’s reliance on consumers, which has been struggling, has led them to underperform their technology-giant rivals.
On Friday, Microsoft’s stock rallied 1.3% in afternoon trading to lift the company’s market capitalization to $3.12 trillion. That puts it on pace to surpass the current all-time market-cap high of $3.09 set when the stock closed on July 31, 2023, according to Dow Jones Market Data.
As long as Microsoft’s stock closes up at least 0.4%, or at any price above $415.84, the market cap will break Apple’s record, according to Dow Jones Market Data.
Microsoft is set to be the first U.S. company with a market cap above $3.1 trillion, just two weeks after the market cap surpassed $3 trillion for the first time.
Meanwhile, Apple’s stock edged up 0.5% on Friday, for a market cap of $2.92 trillion.
Microsoft’s stock has rallied 11.6% year to date while Apple shares have lost 1.8%. In comparison, the tech-heavy Nasdaq 100 Index has gained 6.7% this year and the Dow Jones Industrial Average has increased 2.6%.
