Microsoft Corp. (MSFT) currently has a market value of $219.10 billion. Dell Inc. (DELL) has a market value of $25.32 billion.
Add them both together and Apple is worth more than Microsoft and Dell combined, $244.77 billion vs. $242.42 billion, respectively.
Now, let that headline percolate around in your brain and roll it off your tongue a few times – it’s really quite satisfying.
Congrats, Apple, for a job well done! Congrats, Jobs, for an Apple done well!
Posted from a nice, warm schadenfreude bath. Ahhh!

Har-Har!
Oh yeah, well Microsoft makes the wonderful Zune and Dell has wonderful netbooks. Suck it Apple!
That’s an interesting factoid. And it happened on a down day too. Probably something that only MDN would have noticed.

Absolutely priceless.
They should close both down and give the money back to the …. DEVELOPERS DEVELOPERS DEVELOPERS!!!!
Revenge is a dish best served cold.
If I was in charge at Dell I would sell the company and…sorry couldn’t resist.
I must have missed the shot at AT&T;, hope someone takes the time to explain why they are the problem.
BTW, my new iPhone 4 hasn’t dropped signal regardless of how I hold it.
I have been watching the total dollars on Nasdaq buying Apple’s stock at http://www.marketwatch.com/tools/marketsummary/screener.asp?exchange=15&view=7&lookup=Look+Up
Apple has been the top total dollars on Nasdaq now for several months. Book mark it and you will see what is really happening. Keep in mind that 18% of the second highest listed PowerShares QQQ (QQQQ) is Apple’s shares.
Follow the money not the talking heads!
Payback’s a bitch, ain’t it?
=:~)
I looked at this and thought, this can’t be true, Apple is only worth 25B more than MS. The I remembered Dell is only worth 25B.
Microsoft has monkey boy and Dell has the village idiot
Yup Priceless

Will be even better if they can make a phone that works.
@Valentine:
If you know something that over 1,000,000 people in the last 72 hours don’t know, please enlighten us.
Michael should have liquidated his Dell holdings and bought AAPL way back when his Dell holdings had some value.
Enjoy it while you can — by this time next year Apple will only be $64/share. And all because of behavior issues. I read it right here at MDN.
That antenna effect is odd – doesn’t seem to affect everyone – so maybe it is to do with earthing. The variables, which are the
conductivity of the feet or shoes, and flooring, and even body composition, especially the state of the hands, will have some effect on the efficiency of an aerial touched by the hand.
LOL it’s funny to see all the blind fools into thinking CRAPPLE worth more than Microsoft.
From now on bing and decide. http://www.bing.com
and this is with 5% market share
just wait a few years !!!!!!
@PC
you must be talking about all the PC folks who have been buying iPods, iPhones, and iPads, downloadind Safari and iTunes, making Apple richer by the day.
Thanks PC people!
No, “ZuneTang,” we are not misled! You are an impostor! But countless posters here are anxiously awaiting comment from the REAL ZuneTang™!
@ flappo.
Stunning. And now that Apple is at a significant tipping point…
It seems like it could snowball from here on out.
Amazing1:
You are either thinking that there will be 4:1 split or are seriously delusional.
Who’da thunk it back when Steve jobs returned to Apple!
Only monetarily. Only monetarily…
Apple has long been worth more then Microsoft and Dell combined many, many years ago!
