10 Reasons Why Microsoft's Decline Is Good for the Company

Microsoft is on the decline. For the first time, Apple has beaten the software giant as the most valuable company in the industry. For its part, Microsoft is shrugging it off. But it should embrace the news. It's good for the company.

I looked at some statistics:
Microsoft
Enterprise Value (May 29, 2010)3: 196.67B
Trailing P/E (ttm, intraday): 13.37
Forward P/E (fye Jun 30, 2011)1: 11.12

Apple
Enterprise Value (May 29, 2010)3: 207.38B
Trailing P/E (ttm, intraday): 21.78
Forward P/E (fye Sep 26, 2011)1: 16.65

You can see that P/E for Microsoft is better then Apples, that means it will take longer for you to get the money back with Apple then with Microsoft in the long run, it also means that the stock is HOT.
