| Apple vs. Microsoft by the numbers A little less than a year ago, Wall Street reached a Microsoft vs. Apple milestone: for the first time, Apple's corporate value surpassed Microsoft's. And Apple's market cap (the total value of all of its shares) topped Microsoft's even though the latter company had more revenue and double the profit margins. Clearly, Wall Street was looking at growth potential, not current income statements and balance sheets, in anointing Apple the more compelling buy. What has happened since? With Apple due to report its latest quarterly earnings tomorrow -- Microsoft reports its numbers next week -- we look at some recent numbers, as well as data over time. http://www.computerworld.com/s/artic...by_the_numbers

| very hard to ignore Apple's (re-)rise to fame; their OS X is a rock solid alternative to Windows and their iOS devices boast user friendliness that draws in the masses.
