How about another Apple comparison, Apple did not start mid 2007, but that is the year that the first iPhone was introduced. Apple has been growing thanks ONLY to the halo effect from the iPhone.
Remember when Microsoft was king with the dominate os platform?
Well the iPhone is changing that, more consumers, business and enterprise are now using ios & macos thanks solely to the iPhone.
One product turned Apple into the richest company on the planet, and it all started 2007.
