Apple Surpasses Dell's Market Value
bonch writes "Nine years after Michael Dell said he'd shut down Apple and give the money to the shareholders, Apple has passed Dell in market value, at $72,132,428,843 compared to Dell's $71,970,702,760. Analysts expect Apple to continue to outperform competitors, citing 2006 as 'poised to be the year of both iPod growth and, more importantly, Mac market share gains,' with earnings growing more than 35%. I should have bought stock two years ago!" We talked about the approach of this moment back in November of last year.

Tell me that's not what they're trying to do with Windows. They're trying to have all the same features, however they're failing.
Apple has briefly surpass Dell by a tiny amount. How does this show that at all? For a major portion of Dell's history it was beating out Apple. If there's any evidence here, it's that Jobs doesn't have the vision to run a company like Dell.
