A story that hit the internets yesterday:
So, add ‘em both up and you find that the “Wintel” is worth $316.8 billion. As you nmight imagine, we’ve been watching these values with anticipation for quite some time and today, for the first time (ever?), the closing value of Apple (AAPL) $317.60 billion exceeded that of Wintel. Just in time to make a nice slide for somebody’s WWDC keynote address (hint, hint).
Sure have come a long way in the last 10 years, huh?
Another interesting bit I heard that’s not gotten much attention is that if Apple were to stop growing, and sales were to level off then they would still be on track to amass over 300 billion dollars in cash by 2015. That would be enough money for them to buy the company (at today’s share prices) and take it off the market.
Pretty amazing.
