Well it is all over the news today, (if you can get past all the Royal Wedding news & actually find some happenings with a little more substance) Apple's quarterly profit was more than Microsoft's for the first time since 1991. Much of this success is due to Apple's iPad and the decline of personal purchases of inexpensive netbooks, which saw a healthy increase during the recession. While this role reversal is newsworthy, Microsoft is still humming along, no cause for alarm. Microsoft saw an increase in hardware & software purchases from corporations, cementing their good-health. Check out the Washington Post's story for more information.
Cheers to William & Kate, now let's get back to business!
