Microsoft's shares sharply rose by 1.6 percent in NYSE, which propelled the company enough to join Apple Inc. to become the second company in history to have a market value of $2 trillion.

Microsoft is engaged in various segments giving it an upper hand, and also, the company is well poised in the tech market.
