Cool. Let’s break them both down and replace them with a thousand smaller, employee owned, and ethical companies.
Fragmenration is not preferred by most users and many of the services and systems these two run require large international teams. That's not to say that they don't need to be checked by antitrust.
What would the world look like if we fragmented the tech giants but then regulated them by requiring open standards so that things could mix and match as customers see fit?
Baby Bell the shit out of both of them and make it stick longer.
whats the difference if edge for instance is from another company?
I am not saying that it couldn't be split but a thousand companies doesn't sound a good idea. Some of the stuff they do cannot be done at that size I would suspect.
One cartel became bigger than another one.
Don't you all have a business or economics community to post this?
If I subscribe to technology, I want tech news. Not how this month one tech giant is valued slightly higher than another.
Who... fucking... cares?
Stockholders
These articles are so meaningless. Every other week one overtakes the other.
Uhhhh no? What was the last time MSFT had a higher market capitalization than AAPL? A lot longer than one week ago…
Tried to check, 2021 may have been the last time. My fucks were to low so I didn't want to verify further than a 1 off haha
These valuations are just that. If they attempt to cash out by selling all the shares the value will collapse. It is all about potential for future gains.
Hold up guys! It's just a big misunderstanding! The Tesla parked at the Redmond parking lot is actually Bertha's. She doesn't work at Microsoft. She works for Uber.
Again sorry, bad evaluation.. apple can have it's Crown back for another 10 seconds.... okay now! This time Microsoft really is the...no wait! The homeless guy! The hobo just picked up the nickel! One more microsecond... okay now Microsoft is the clear winner by a single microwave oven!
Oh no! Fred! He's about to cook his fish dish again! Someone stop him!

Over the past year, Microsoft's support for artificial intelligence tools by backing OpenAI has helped boost its value
…which I’m sure is not just hype and grift obscuring a heap of pending lawsuits.
This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
