*First* guarantees nothing. <\/p>\n

Apple not first in PCs, mobile phones or much of anything. <\/p>\n

Facebook not first in social networks. <\/p>\n

Google not first in search. <\/p>\n

Amazon not first in e-commerce or cloud. <\/p>\n

Microsoft not first in OS, browser or bundled software. https:\/\/t.co\/6yMbF6LXas<\/a><\/p>\n
