They would be better served buying Microsoft... yes they can afford that too. And then the PC/Mac situation would get interesting. There has been no real competiotion in the PC arena ever since Microsoft took over. We need some REAL competition in this market. |
you're just staring at numbers without understanding what they mean
in terms of real world assets Microsoft is much larger than Apple. Apple, again as others have mentioned, is just inflated due to people getting overly giddy about their stocks. they can't go into their pockets like some are suggesting. if it were as simple as some as you suggest then Apple would have tried it already
Microsoft is in a much better position to acquire large companies. which they do regularly. but they've tried to do it with the likes of Nintendo before and for the millionth time the Japanese government will bar anything like that from happening. regardless, Nintendo is a unique company as majority control of the company remains internal
