Apple Now Worth More Than Microsoft & Intel Combined!

Apple pulled out all the stops at yesterday’s WWDC event. OS X Lion, iOS 5, and iCloud blew my little mind yesterday. So what’s going to blow my mind today?

How about the fact that Apple is now worth more than Microsoft and Intel combined? Yup, that’ll do it!

MacDailyNews totted up Microsoft’s and Intel’s market valuation when the markets closed on Friday and their total sum came to a combined $316.8 billion (MS – $201.59b & Intel – $115.21b).

Apple’s valuation on Friday closed at $317.6 billion, a little under $1 billion more than the two great rivals combined.

During the WWDC keynote, Apple’s SVP of Product Marketing, Phil Schiller told us that there is now more than 50 million Macs on the market. That may not sound too amazing but what is of note is the year over year growth for Macs vs PCs. Mac popularity grew by 28% while PCs declined by 1%.
