Scientific investment

Interesting thing - in the last year, Microsoft spent $ 7.4 billion on research and surveys, while Apple a little more than 12% of this amount, or rather 844 million dollars. In this case, Apple gave us the world and iPhone, iPod Touch, Mac OS X Leopard and of course the Macbook Air, and Microsoft just Vist'u. Strange, but these two companies won the first and 11th place for investments, and between them have settled IBM (6.2 billion $), Intel (5.8 billion $), Cisco (4.7 billion $), HP (3.6 billion $), Oracle (2.5 billion $), SAP (2.3 billion $), Google (2.1 billion $), Sun (1.9 billion dollars) and AMD (1.8 billion dollars).
