Microsoft and General Electric (GE) continue to flip-flop in terms of market capitalization, as the world's biggest corporation. This week Microsoft is back on top, thanks to a tech-stock rally.

Microsoft's market cap is now $294.4 billion, compared with $292.5 billion for GE. And, yes, you can start humming the opening notes to "The Imperial March (Darth Vader's Theme)" now, if you're so inclined.

Go GE go. Get back on top.

Unlike Microsoft, GE is an American company that makes quality products. I have a VCR, DVD Player, PC speakers, and a box fan made by GE. I am very happy with anything I have purchased from GE.

Look at Windows 95/98/ME. Quality? I think not.

Look at Windows XP. I think so.

I wouldn't own a GE audio or video component if you gave it to me for free. appliances yes, Audio or video... hell no. Oh and they make great lightbulbs.

I have a GE VCR and a GE DVD Player and I am very happy with them. I have never had a crappy product from GE. GE is a brand name I trust.

If you're happy with them that's good. I certainly wouldn't want you to be unhappy owning something.

GE still makes their own lightbulbs, medical equipment and jet engines. Just about everything else is imported and rebranded. I've owned two GE VCRs, while my father bought 1 Panasonic. He's still happy with his and I want to replace my second. Ironically, he works for Generous Electric.

Oddly enough, GE makes lightbulbs that get rebranded for Phillips and Sylvania. Go figure.

Windows 95 made computers accessible to a whole generation of "ordinary people."

Windows 98 turned that generation on to the internet.

It is as fashionable to say "I don't use Windows" as it once was to say "I don't watch TV." Also as meaningless. One persons likes or dislikes or even the likes and dislikes of the 5% of computer users that use Mac or Linux don't change the fact that Microsoft has changed the world.

Personally, I never cared for Henry Ford, but it is irrational to dispute that he made the car affordable and accessible. AT&T did the same with mass communication. And Microsoft did it for computers.
