\nLa momentul investi\u0163iei Microsoft, Apple se afla la numai c\u00e2teva s\u0103pt\u0103m\u00e2ni distan\u0163\u0103 de faliment. Finan\u0163area, parte a unui acord mai amplu, a asigurat suficien\u0163i bani \u015fi spa\u0163iu de manevr\u0103 pentru ca Apple s\u0103-\u015fi consolideze controlul asupra diviziei Mac \u015fi s\u0103 sus\u0163in\u0103 astfel dezvoltarea iPod \u015fi iTunes.<\/p>\n
\nCompania a lansat iPhone \u015fi iPad, produse care ulterior “vor r\u0103ni de moarte industria PC-urilor, \u00een timp ce Apple va anexa, \u00eentr-un joc cu sum\u0103 zero, capitalizare de amploarea unor continente de la imperiul \u00een declin al Microsoft”, potrivit Bloomberg Businessweek.<\/p>\n
\nMicrosoft avea o valoare de pia\u0163\u0103 de 556 miliarde de dolari \u00een perioada de apogeu, din 2000. Acum, capitalizarea companiei se situeaz\u0103 la 320 de miliarde de dolari. Apple valora mai pu\u0163in de 3 miliarde de dolari la momentul \u00een care a acceptat ajutorul lui Bill Gates, iar \u00een prezent a ajuns la 505 miliarde de dolari.<\/p>\n
\nInvesti\u0163ia a fost anun\u0163at\u0103 \u00een cadrul unui “amplu acord de licen\u0163iere”, \u00een care Microsoft, printre altele, promitea s\u0103 dezvolte \u015fi s\u0103 livreze \u00een continuare variante pentru platforma Mac ale unor programe, precum Office.<\/p>\n
\nMutarea Microsoft a p\u0103rut inteligent\u0103 la momentul respectiv.<\/p>\n
\n“Scopul nu era s\u0103 ob\u0163in\u0103 profit de pe urma investi\u0163iei, ci s\u0103 men\u0163in\u0103 viabil sistemul de operare al Apple, astfel \u00eenc\u00e2t autorit\u0103\u0163ile antitrsut s\u0103 nu poat\u0103 demonstra u\u015for un monopol al Microsoft. (…) Ca s\u0103 fim cinsti\u0163i, cine \u015fi-ar fi putut imagina la momentul respectiv c\u0103 Steve Jobs va schimba radical c\u00e2teva industrii, nu numai afacerile profitabile ale Microsoft legate de PC-uri”, a declarat directorul de investi\u0163ii al Ritholtz Wealth Management, Barry Ritholtz.<\/p>\n
\nDe\u015fi investi\u0163ia a p\u0103rut genial\u0103, \u00een prezent ar putea fi considerat\u0103 drept cea mai costisitoare afacere din istoria modern\u0103, dep\u0103\u015find pierderea comun\u0103 de capitalizare de 286 miliarde de dolari \u00eenregistrat\u0103 dup\u0103 fuziune de AOL-Time Warner, precum \u015fi costurile din litigii \u015fi pierderi ale Bank of America de pe urma prelu\u0103rii Countrywide.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
