As part of another adventure in numbers incomprehensible to the human mind, Microsoft has gained the upper hand in its rivalry with Apple, attaining a market value of $2.87 trillion and becoming the most valuable company on the planet.
As reported by the Financial Times, Microsoft nosed ahead of Apple earlier today, on the back of a 1% increase in its share value. Apple's, meanwhile, dropped 1%, leaving Steve Jobs' baby with a market cap fully $4 billion lower than Microsoft's. Apple's market cap stood at $2.871 trillion, Microsoft's at $2.875 trillion.
