Look out Microsoft, Apple is getting stronger! by Claudia Sonea

The competition on the computer market is tight nowadays. Smaller companies like Sony, Dell, Hewlett-Packard are coming from behind challenging the industry giants like Microsoft and Apple. In fact back in the 1980s Apple was just a small company into the consumer electronics market who dared to compete with IBM and Microsoft and look where it is now: ahead of Microsoft in total value. It was just a matter of time for Apple to take the lead. With constant innovations in the computer and smartphones industry, the American multinational corporation that was one step to going bankrupt in 1980s, wa! s bound to surpass Microsoft. However, the fact that it managed to be better in market capitalization is still not the same with being better sold than Microsoft. Windows computers are still largely preferred by computer users all over the world. Therefore, Apple cannot sit back and relax as tables can turn in no time. At the WWDC 2010 everyone expects for a new iPhone that will be introduced by Steve Job himself. In the meantime, Microsoft investors might wake up and feel the awful taste of losing top position. If the company won’t launch something new, something catchy on the market, it will soon lose its leadership in sales too. Maybe the new wave of managerial changes (J. Allard and Robbie Bach left the company) is part of a plan to innovate the Xbox business and Windows mobile group. It will be hard to get back on track after going through court trials with the U.S. Department of Justice and the European Commission, ! after wasting time on trying to purchase Yahoo and compete on ! so many. Whether it will be triumphant in renovating itself, it remains to be seen.
