Which is why we use a lot of money for Microsoft and Apple, a new product?



Although Apple has produced innovative products one after another, its R & D expenditure is one digit less than that of Microsoft. In other words, it does not necessarily mean that you can do stuff just because you spend money.

Other examples of IBM, Intel, Cisco, etc are below.
Why does not Microsoft out-innovate Apple?

Roughly speaking, listing the expenses for the last year that took up the research and development of representative companies is as follows.

Microsoft: $ 7.4 billion (about 768.4 billion yen)
IBM: $ 6.2 billion (about 643.8 billion yen)
Intel: $ 5.8 billion (about 602.2 billion yen)
Cisco: $ 4.7 billion (about 488 billion yen)
HP: $ 3.6 billion (about 378.8 billion yen)
Oracle: $ 2.5 billion (about 259.6 billion yen)
SAP: $ 2.3 billion (about 238.8 billion yen)
Google: $ 2.1 billion (about 218 billion yen)
Sun: $ 1.9 billion (about 197.3 billion yen)
AMD: $ 1.8 billion (about 186.9 billion yen)
Apple: $ 844 million (about 87.6 billion yen)


Every company spends a considerable amount of money on development and research, but at the same time it is only wonderful that Apple that sends quality products of just overwhelming low cost compared to other companies one after another.
