Google Overtakes Microsoft And Becomes The Second Largest Tech Company In the World

For the first time today Google surpassed Microsoft’s market evaluation and became the world’s second largest tech company after Apple.
Google now has over $249 billion in market cap, while Microsoft fell to around $248.8 billion. The two companies will probably trade positions for a certain period of time, but given Google and Microsoft’s dynamics, it’s expected that in a couple of days Google will firmly establish itself on the second place.

Still, when it comes to market valuation nobody comes even close to Apple's nearly $632 billion. That's much more than Google and Microsoft combined.
