Comment on Ask HN: Do current giants have more or less influence than Microsoft in the 90s

Comments

Collectively, the tech giants are more powerful today. In the 90s there was at least a robust market for Windows apps (besides office suites or browsers); today the underlying platforms and many of the top apps are from the giants. I would say any individual tech company today is less influential than MS was, though.
