“It is a long game,” Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer told reporters on Thursday in response to Apple overtaking his company on the stock market. “We have good competitors but we too are very good competitors.”
He added: “I will make more profit and certainly there is no technology company on the planet that is as profitable as we are.”
“Let’s see what happens as I am still pleased that 94 times out of a 100 somebody picks a Windows PC,” he said.
Microsoft shares closed at $25.01 on Wednesday, giving it a market cap of $219.18 billion. Apple closed at $244.05, a market value of $222.07 billion.
