Microsoft Overtakes Apple as World's Most Valuable Company [Updated]

[NZP]

What a nonsense, each day everyday MS software is causing me all kinds of trouble

 

[macfacts]

Does it really matter?

Yes, to the apple fans that keep bragging about apple having the best/rich/valuable customers.

It's probably the AI + Copilot integration; Microsoft is supposedly planning to put Copilot into even the most basic apps like Notepad. 😮

Clearly the answer for Apple is to integrate the rumored new SiriGPT into everything, and I do mean everything. TextEdit? Terminal? There's nowhere you can go where you can be safe from the gentle glow of Siri's all-seeing eye.

(this is meant as a joke but it might happen for real 😅)

As a consumer, I would love SiriGPT into the Apple eco system.....please just dont charge for it lol

Gotta love the fanboys

Apple is number 1: congratulations apple, this is amazing

Another company becomes number 1: does it matter?

Do you look at the share price before you buy a product? Are you now going to put all your Apple kit on eBay and replace it with Surface laptops?

Really? Windows 10/11 and MS 365 Suite runs like clockwork here!

 

[Bustycat]

It doesn't matter as I don't own any share.🥲

I like the new Microsoft that has emerged since the old guard left. Nadella has done well at making MS more open and innovative.

Steve Ballmer was CEO from 2000 to 2014.

Jamf admin here. I don't think Apple will. Their iPhone game is a big enough gold mine in enterprise (and elsewhere) that they don't need that Mac business. And they won't beat Dell on upfront hardware pricing, MBAs and CIOs don't typically look at TCO over 5 years because they won't statistically be answering for that decision in 5 years time... the average term of a CIO is under 3 years.

As a fellow Jamf admin, I concur.

They may respond by putting up prices.

Macrumors is a breeding ground of this mindset. It's really embarrassing.

Then maybe, don't use it? I'm doing a year long challenge where I don't use Windows for video games at all because I'm just sick of Windows.

This will collapse again when the third AI winter starts.

I am actually hedging on this heavily.

Not that any of this matters really!

 

[User 6502]

Who cares...would you like to use Microsoft products? Have fun with that!

I do, they are excellent. But most importantly they are evolving rapidly, especially anything AI related. Apple has been stagnant for years and it’s getting to a point when it’s start to be less competitive.

 

[Jumpthesnark]

This doesn't really matter.

Then again it's hopefully another push to get Tim Cook out. Time's up.

So it doesn't matter, but fire the CEO. Got it.

This doesn't really matter.

Then again it's hopefully another push to get Tim Cook out. Time's up.

I don't think they would be in the top 10 without Tim Cook; the man is a goldmine for the company...He'll decide when he leaves, not the board...and they will want him to stay.

 

[lenningj]

Just wait until Siri GPT is out 😅

 

[jimbobb24]

Apple really needs to get some AI going or partner with some AI company

Missing generative AI by apple and Cook is as big a mistake as Gates missing the importance of the internet. They are playing catch up in a very rapidly moving field.

 

[DelayedGratificationGene]

An absolutely meaningless and literally stupid number but the media doesn’t care because most people are clueless but if Apple didn’t buy back over 40% of it stock it would be 5 trillion. Anyhow now the govt will look at msft

Cool theory.

But my 401k has mutual funds that have various amounts of shares in both. So either way, as long as both perform well, I don’t care. This increase means I’ll, perhaps even for a moment, see a bump in my own net worth, and inch me towards retiring at a normal age.

Mountain out of a molehill.

Microsoft are doing very well in the Enterprise field, the work they've done with Copilot is pretty awesome. It's definitely going to change how people do work day to day. I wonder if Apple will ever complete with Microsoft productivity suite and Enterprise Cloud services for the everyday business

We have GitHub Copilot turned on at work and let me tell you, the first time I typed a code comment, hit enter, and it offered up 30 lines of code (only 2 of which I had to tweak) I was blown away and thankful that I'm at a point in my career where if AI took my job I could slide into a management role.

 

[JapanApple]

As a shareholder, I make profits enough to replace my Apple devices. 2024 will be a great year.

 

[Infodataset]

Nah everyone said copilot and so on. It just apple are very stingy for ram upgrades and expensive ssd upgrade

 

[dominiongamma]

Does it really matter?

It would to you if Apple was on top

 

[thegerman]

Both are great companies. For business Windows is unmatched in therms of functionality. For video and music Mac’s are better
