Apple & Microsoft duke it out for top tech spot; will Steve Ballmer get TKOed?
Apple has been looking pretty shiny since Wednesday, having just crossed a golden threshold: slipping past Microsoft in "market capitalization"— the valuation of a company based on its current stock price multiplied by number of shares available; as well as "enterprise value" which is market cap, plus debt and minus cash holdings. Speculation had been rampant for months whether it would ever happen; and then, on Wednesday— surely to be memorialized in computer lore— after a wild ride on the market, AAPL ended the day worth a few billion more than its frenemy MSFT.
Apple was now not only the top technology company in the world, it was the second highest valued company in America (behind Exxon-Mobile.) Thursday, MSFT and AAPL traded neck-and-neck in valuation, but by the market close, Apple held the crown for a second day.
