Microsoft has just overtaken Google to become the 3rd largest company in the world by market capitalisation, surpassed only by Apple and Exxon (an oil company). Here's the top 4:

Apple - $582.2bb

Exxon - $389.2bn

Microsoft - $353.4bn

Google - $352.5bn

Thoughts?

Google has two outstanding shares GOOGL & GOOG, with $358.28B & $350.21B market caps respectively. Is that factored in?

This happened quite a while ago (the first time) and it has happened several times after. Google and MS are always battling with eachother for the 3rd largest market cap. It's nothing to make a fuss of really.

Microsoft hasn't been 3rd for a loooong time.. Besides, someone has to give them some good PR!

They were 3rd after Q1 2014. That's not a loooooooong time by my definition.

2014[edit]

This Financial Times Global 500–based list is up to date as of September 30, 2014. Indicated changes in market value are relative to the previous quarter.

My thoughts are that google is doomed and the Ouya will suffer from it.

If you demand respect or gratitude for your volunteer work, you're doing volunteering wrong.

Yet you made the decision to come into this thread just to write that you dont care? Seems legit.
