After 30-years of ranking second, Apple Inc. will likely to outrun Microsoft in revenue.
Apple, recently faced with big problem about their smartphone, earns more revenue this quarter than the software giant.
For the first time in the company's recent history, it is possible that Apple will have surpassed Microsoft after reporting on Tuesday a $3.25 billion in net income on a $15.7 billion in revenue. Microsoft, on the other hand, is expected to earn $4.1 billion in net income on $15.26 billion in revenue. Almost $500 million less in what Apple reported revenue this quarter. If Microsoft leads anyway, it will only a small range compare to Apple.
According to Andy Zaky, as he estimates, put Apple ahead by $3.8 billion as he expect Apple to record $18.9 billion in revenue.
"What’s even more surprising is that Apple will likely far surpass Microsoft in revenue for the entire 2010 and 2011 fiscal year.", he added.
While Apple intensified its competition against Microsoft, it is more exciting to see the future report of revenue of two tech company. The question now is, will Microsoft maintain their position, or will Apple take the lead?
