bigger than microsoft?
 

What does everyone think will be the next company to get bigger than microsoft?

whether it's tech or not.

they probably don't have the most in gross sales, or employ the most people
so I guess I am talking about net profits, and even then maybe they aren 't #1 at that, but who will be the next biggest like them?


Google? will they surpass

when will it happen 3 years? 10 years?

Bill Gates may not always be the #1 guy, when will get get passed up?

hmmm. good question

no one will be. Microsoft owns the World. Cant even set off a Nuc. with out em lol

Whatever the next entity is, my guess is that it'll be IT-related.

Some banks are bigger then microsoft.

Ok let me ask this
do you think at this moment in time, it's a company that we all have heard of, whether big or small?

spend your time thinking about how YOU can be succesfull and not about others who might become it one day . . .

Tops In Sales
With a 24% jump in 2005 revenues, Exxon Mobil moved past last year's world revenues champ, Wal-Mart Stores (nyse: WMT - news - people ). Of the sales leaders, 20 hail from the U.S.

Tops In Profits
Higher oil and gas prices helped energy companies grab six of the top ten spots here. Exxon Mobil's record profits last year: $36 billion.

Tops In Assets
Financial service companies rule this list. Barclays (nyse: BCS - news - people ) of the U.K. unseats perennial asset leader Citigroup (nyse: C - news - people ) to claim the top spot in assets.

Tops In Market Value
Despite an 11% decline in market value from last year, Exxon Mobil, capitalized at $363 billion, remains the world's most valuable company.

According to these lists from 2000 microsoft is no where near the biggest.

I think they just got a few people at the top owning most of the shares.

Gates, Allen, and the crazy CEO guy Balmer or whatever.

I'm no expert with this stuff, but from what I see here this seems to be the case.

i think google has great potential to do it but not sure what could compete

Are we just talking internet/computer companies here?

check out all those airlines making profits in the negative billions :error
