Microsoft Vs. Apple: Does Equal Size Mean Equality?

Microsoft (Nasdaq:MSFT) and Apple (Nasdaq:APPL) are goliaths, two of the largest companies on the planet. Microsoft is a $270 billion company, while Apple is valued at a slightly lower $225 billion, based on their current stock prices. Yet just a decade ago, the thought that Apple's worth could be in even the same ballpark as Microsoft would have been ludicrous. The gap has closed, thanks to an amazing resurgence of Apple over the past 10 years. To say that Apple was teetering over the cliff before catching itself is not hyperbole.
