The really interesting thing is the market capitalization: http://www.google.com/finance?q=goog,+aapl,+msft

Apple is less than $50 billion ( < 20%) behind Microsoft in total valuation. If you compare the P/E ratio of Apple & Microsoft then you can see there is some expectation that Apple could overtake Microsoft in market cap sometime comparatively soon.

Who'd have predicted that in 2000? Or even 2005?

(Speaking of historical predictions, who would have predicated that Microsoft, Apple and Google would all be bigger than IBM in market cap?)

Is this a sign AAPL is over-valued? Not trying to rag on Apple here, genuinely interested.

It's a sign that investors think Apple's revenues are going to grow further.
