IBM was unstoppable, then Microsoft came from nowhere.

Microsoft was unstoppable, then nonexistent Google appeared.

As a reminder, Microsoft is the largest company in the world and has a 25% larger marketcap than Google.

I find it funny that so many people think Microsoft was "stopped" by Google. They adapted and they are stronger now than in the 90s as a business.
