I think Microsoft is doing so well with investors despite having a much worse P/E ratio because of the growth indicators: Surface, Gaming, Azure & Office 365. Apple has Services as a growth indicator, but everything else is plateau-d or slightly declining.

I like how some people are taking the Microsoft thing as meaning Microsoft did something special. No, they didn’t become the most valuable because their value shot up. They just didn’t screw up and lose almost 200b value.

Nadella's been CEO of Microsoft for a couple of months shy of five years. Here's a five year graph of MSFT stock.
