How would you like to be Ballmer explaining this one to his board - according to Fortune, this quarter or next Apple will truly surpass Micrsoft as the largest tech company, not just in "market value" but in sales volume in a single quarter:



Maybe it's time for Gates to make a comeback (before Microsoft becomes irrelevant).

I paid it so that I might profit from your death. And just as your mother was there at your beginning, I shall be there at your end.
And when you die - and die you shall - your transition will be to the sound of...[claps his hands]
