Microsoft P/E Ratio = 17
Apple P/E Ratio = 25

Apple will have to continue firing on all cylinders to maintain that stock price. Any slip up could get ugly (for example Android sales bite into iPhone sales growth). Microsoft has more room to maneuver.

As for Market Cap = All shares outstanding x Share Price. Don't start pulling float adjusted or any other measure. It just reeks of Apple bias.

I was one of those guys you were referencing. To my knowledge, this is the first time ever that Engadget has live blogged their financial call. With that in mind ...

The funny thing is Apple generally doesn't have very many surprises, so there is really not many tricks up it's sleeve concerning products. The only surprises are the marketing of the products we know are coming anyway. But I suspect that it will start becoming difficult to market that logo again like it did back in the mid 90s when it was rainbow colored. That being said, I do think Microsoft would do better with an identifable consumer friendly logo, such as a Microsoft Bunny or something.]]>Apr 22nd 2010 8:33PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/22/microsoft-snags-14-5b-revenue-4-01b-net-income-for-q3/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/22/microsoft-snags-14-5b-revenue-4-01b-net-income-for-q3/Apr 22nd 2010 9:10PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/22/microsoft-snags-14-5b-revenue-4-01b-net-income-for-q3/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/22/microsoft-snags-14-5b-revenue-4-01b-net-income-for-q3/http://j.mp/xna-games-4-0]]>Apr 22nd 2010 9:15PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/22/microsoft-snags-14-5b-revenue-4-01b-net-income-for-q3/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/22/microsoft-snags-14-5b-revenue-4-01b-net-income-for-q3/

Engadget has always done this, just they used to not get around to it until 4 hours later in Microsoft's case.

They did say "...and will also be listening in on Microsoft's 5:30PM ET call, so stay tuned! ". So this is a marked improvement.

Well Kwame.. tell me how many apple servers.. Ha that just funny to say.. Apple servers are running SQL Server, Exchange, Oracle, DB2, Blackberry Services, anything.. that is truly business related. Nada. So like most Apple people you only think about your Ipod, pad, whatever... and never think about the broader market. The Iphone needs Exchange just to have a reliable corporate email service.. and if you say they can use google.. then you just prove my point.

Apple builds good products, but they are not the innovators of all innovation. Lastly, much of their cap is built on hype. How can someone who has less that 11% of the computer market, less than 20% of the phone market, be bigger than the company that owns the desktop market, server market, database market (mid sized and smaller firms), 50% of the gaming market, ...
