Microsoft is currently worth about $90b and Google is currently sitting at $87.3b.
Considering that Microsoft has been around about a quarter century longer, it's pretty impressive what Google has done in less than 20 years of existence.
The real juggernaut is Apple, who were all but given up for dead back in 1998 when Google came on the scene.
Apple is worth some $111b and has had nearly $200b in revenue over the past year alone (more than both Microsoft and Google combined).
Apple is in uncharted territory and shows no sign of slowing down.
Apple makes money off of music (iTunes) and portable music players/cameras/phones now.
Google is essentially the US Government. So the numbers mean nothing.
Sinking so much money into a new eco-green - supposedly - and massive, hq, is a risk. Someone remarked that historically when a company’s done that, it was not a good sign for their future. Maybe apple bucks the trend, but without Jobs there so far nothing amazing has come out of there.
Where are you getting your numbers? I’m referring to market cap. And Google was once the largest but is now being part up by Apple and Microsoft.
