Apple might have reported their highest quarterly earning ever, a record high, but they are not alone. Microsoft, the software giant from Redmond also reported record high earnings. Microsoft reported a $16.20 billion revenue last quarter, that's a whopping 25% increase during the same quarter last year. That revenue resulted in a $5.41 Billion profit. This might be the result of the record setting number of Windows 7 license activations all over the world and do not forget to add in Microsoft Office 2010 into the equation. Apple on the other hand...
...reported a $20.34 Billion revenue, that's more or less $5 Billion bigger than what the guys at Redmond earned. What kept Microsoft alive is it's profit the $5 Billion profit that Microsoft had last quarter is $1 Billion more than Apple's reported $4.31 Billion. It seems that the guys over at Cupertino expenses more than the guys at Redmond. The war or let's just term it as competition between these two giants is really neck-to-neck.
