I think back around the first iBooks in late summer 1999 — the clamshells — some of us knew this day would likely happen, that the iMac Internet Appliance was not a mere fluke. But I doubt we knew this day would happen all reverse-Ridley Scott style.
An impressive achievement by whatever metric—S&P 500 rank doesn't tell the whole story (MSFTs full market cap is actually $275B), but I'm sure Jobs feels vindicated.
I've been using Apple for 10yrs, will probably stop buying their products for several big reasons. So I'm not too familiar with Microsoft's products but I have not noticed them coming out with ANYTHING exciting in a very long time. Why not? Am I wrong?
@6: Windows 7 is exciting in that it's more recent than XP but doesn't suck mule balls. And in the videogame department, apparently they've been tinkering with some full-body motion-capture device called Project Natal (pronounced nuh-TAL).
iPads for everyone!

So, when do they start paying dividends?
