Interesting. Has anyone seen similar results for other big companies (Apple & Google would be great). A quick google search didn't turn up anything.

- Jsmith018 16y agoCan't imagine either would be nearly as large, especially since Apple is relativity closed to other and I can't even think of companies that could be deemed as partners with Google. Amazing how a company can be so interdependent with others all across the world.
- magsafe 16y agoI don't think Apple is as close as you may think initially. Steve Jobs announced during the iPad2 keynote that devs have earned over $2b from selling their apps on the App Store. Add to that all the artists and bands that succeed by selling their music on iTunes. Plus all the podcasters that wouldn't have been discovered if it wasn't for iTunes. Plus all the authors selling books on the iBookstore. Plus the hundreds of small and large companies making accessories, cases, adapters, covers, etc for iGadgets. Plus all the big brands like Bose creating iPod compatible hi-fi equipment. All the vehicles adding iPod dock support. Added up together, I'm not sure if it matches Microsoft's ecosystem, but Apple's is probably in the tens of billions of dollars.
- mbesto 16y agoI'd be interested to see SAP and Oracle. Haven't found anything either.
