I'm not surprised - the list is for innovation not plagiarism!

Looks like businesses are taking notice of Apple.

How can Dell be on this list at all? What's to admire? Shite products backed by shite support, coupled with falling market share and an intensely restrictive business model?

Will you look at that - Walt Disney is also most admired for innovation. This helps validates the match up.

Peace.

I'll bet it was that hi-fi boombox that pushed them over the top.

Am I the only one that sees MS at #6 and Apple at #9
??

How the hell is Micrsoft A) on the list and B) higher on the list than Apple?

what has dell done? what has mircosoft done?
Apple easily number one, New products in hardware, new products in electronics, new products in data storage and new products in software. This has to be a hoax. Innovation includes every aspect of the company, apple has created new standards in every field it enters. Mircosoft! a new search bar that failed come on!. Dell a low cost pc wholesaler? where is the innovaton?. Apple designs new products a raises the bar for all. Business people wake up and smell the future. New call centre you will get your customer support and happy days for the rest of your corperate lifes.

General Electric?

Where's their iPod killer refridgerator with builtin WiFi and MP3 player.

Sheesh, even Creative Labs realizes the center of the universe revolves around trying to trump Apple

A new GE cooktop with builtin video would be nice considering all the time I spend in the kitchen cooking.

To Rasmus: There is a different list for innovation. Check the link. Royal Mail Holdings ranked worst for innovation. Not sure about that but Safeway in the top 10 for innovation? For what? Groundbreaking toilet paper pyramids?

What execs admire about Microsoft, and want to achieve for themselves, is its ability to make its execs filthy rich...

people admire dell? give me a freaken break!!

"What execs admire about Microsoft . . ."

It's actually more about a secret underground facility below the Redmond headquarters where Little Billy and Big Stevie B. dress up in thigh high leather boots, chaps with "special" windows in the back, chain mail shirts and hoods. There they brandish a cat 'o nine tails at dozens of the luckiest Fortune 100 executives and perform unspeakable horrors while the CEOs scream, "LOG OUT, LOG OUT! ! !" Larry Ellison has been known to dress as a Geisha at many of these affairs.

They call it the Executive Service Pack.


MW: respect. How fitting.

I believe that GE are the only company on the Stock market that were there one hundred + years ago. All others have folded.

That's survival in a harsh world. I hope Apple is there in 100+.

To Leo: re: centenarians

At least on this list:

P & G: "On April 12, 1837, William Procter and James Gamble start making and selling their soap and candles. On August 22, they formalize their business relationship by pledging $3,596.47 apiece. The formal partnership agreement is signed on October 31, 1837."

Walgreens: Charles Walgreen, Dixon, Illinois, 1901.

Safeway, FedEx and ITW in their 90s.

Y'know, Ampar, I didn't really want that mental image in my head so early in the morning...couldn't that have waited at least until the afternoon?

You ain't in New Zealand, are you?

thnaks for scalding a hole in my brain with that one

FedEx was founded in 1971. Any mention of previous history would be for companies that FedEx later bought.

As for why Dell and MS show up higher than Apple on the overall list, it is because as BUSINESSES, they are admirable. They are great at the primary goal of a business, which is to create profits. You can debate the quality of their product all you want, but there are enough people out there that find VALUE (what you get for the amount you pay) in their products and buy them to make both companies extremely profitable.

Critic.

I hate to admit it but you are on the money dude

The second list is a popularity contest of sorts voted by business people. M$ is popular with this set (see market share numbers), M$ is respected for being ruthless (see DOJ and EU reports), M$ is admired for swashing competitors like a bully to cement their position.

This kind of survey is like asking inmates in a maxmimum security prison who they "most admired". You'll probably get votes for "Scarface" (who deosn't exist by the way).

Bottomline, in my world, the second list doesn't mean anything.

Re: FedEx - I squat corrected, critic. Thanks.
And not a kiwi, TF. The safe phrase is "renew my contract!"

The Executive Service Pack has given "bottomline" a whole new meaning.

"This kind of survey is like asking inmates in a maxmimum security prison who they 'most admired'".

At Riker's Island, that would be Herkules "Scrappy-Doo" Wasserman, Jr. in Block 41B. Plays the harmonica beautifully without hands or breath, sculpts tulips from soap scraps and can carve a shank from a toothbrush that also shaves closer than a Gillette Mach III. His dance card is always full.

Before you make jokes of G.E., remember that they also have very great projects that help in the medical field. Have you walked in a hospital and looked around? MRI's, CAT scan, X-Ray and a lot of other medical machines are made by G.E.

But I do agree with Scarbro:
How the hell is Micrsoft
A) on the list and

B) higher on the list than Apple?

I know that dumb ass UM-PC didn't push it up there because that's just a large door stop.

Ampar- "Safeway in the top 10 for innovation? For what? Groundbreaking toilet paper pyramids?"

LOL!

"toilet paper pyramids" Thanks, bobb.

Now of course, if it had been a giant cube of toilet paper rolls, I might reconsider.

Ampar

Don't you mean Herkules Wayne Wasserman Jr? All serial killers have the middle name Wayne.

Stangely enough, even the Chinese ones

Dave H: You're close. H. Wayne is Senior, his dear papa. His son's first "project." He would have been proud of the work.

i love this page keep it up.
I am from Africa and too bad know English, please tell me right I wrote the following sentence: "Spray foam attic roof insulation: saint-gobain air-seal mortar functionality reacting its vapor to 52 doctrine."

Thanks for the help :D, Novella.
