you can't compare stock prices directly, they have no relative meaning

Mh, yes, now that i think of it... my first thought was "woah, i'll have to pay 10 times as much for one apple share", but in reality i'd just say "in invest 1000$ in whatever company, regardless of how many shares".. if the share goes up 10% it doesn't matter how many shares.. well.. my bad, as i said, i've no real interest in that stuff :P

So, all in all, this means that Apple is seen as much worth as MS (and not 10 times more). That's a point of view i didn't consider..

Still, i would really like to see the income sources of both and how much income is generated where, that'd be interesting.
