Discussion on: Is it just me or is Microsoft really crushing it lately?

I do want to say that mega trillion dollar tech companies are not exactly what the world needs per se.

It really seems like Microsoft is safely going to be among the most valuable companies in the world. This is reason enough to hope competition brings them down a peg.

My hope is that Microsoft raises the level of competition and serves the tech community well, as opposed to leveraging their position to exploit customers and maximize profits. But this is not exactly what capitalistic public companies are known for in the long run, so I just hope for the best.

It's funny. I though that Microsoft has always been the most valuable software company in the world.

Microsoft was the first company to sell software. They have been earning by everything... Hardware, software, game consoles, embedded systems, real time control systems, health devices, education, sat tech, doc, training... Almost all the branches.

It has many technologies that are dead, but they have earn money with every thing.

Google is one challenger, Facebook also...

How do you define the value of a company?
