Microsoft Office 2010 Key Boom, Indeed Apple Pass
 

Back in March, Microsoft was about $50 billion in advance of Apple in marketplace cap.

The trend was distinct: I predicted that Apple would pass Microsoft,Office 2007 License, it had been only a issue of when.
Not even I assumed it will be this shortly.
Today, Apple has just handed Microsoft in industry cap. Now, the stocks have already been fluctuating very a bit,Microsoft Office 2010 Key, so this might modify before the industry closes. But as of right now, Apple is forward, and continues to be for your previous handful of minutes.

However it is a good indicator of trends, and obviously stock performance.
