Apple 'nearly' as big as Microsoft???!

About 10 years ago my prediction that Apple would one day be as big as Microsoft was met with laughter. And back then it certainly looked a daunting task.
But armed with foresight, a great strategy, and some of the best (the best) software programers in the world, the goal is looming ever closer...
For the last 7 years Apple have doubled their worth year on year, and are now on the home strait. 
AAPL finished today with Mkt Cap of 146B, and MSFT 280B. That puts Apple slighly over halfway in their market value.
If Apple keeps it up (and there is no sign of the juggernaught slowing) in just over 1 year innovation will have taken its rightful place in what has been an epic battle of the nerd world.

And a few people will owe me a tenner!
