????IPad and related product sales reached $20.4 billion in 2011, a staggering 311% increase from the previous year's results.

2011年盈利：232億美元

????2011年對于這家位于華盛頓州雷德蒙德市的軟件巨頭企業(yè)來說意味著變革。盡管微軟公司的操作系統(tǒng)業(yè)務仍然實力強大，但在2011年總收益中所占比重有所下降。公司2011年總利潤為230億美元，比2010年增長23%。目前微軟正在緊鑼密鼓地準備發(fā)布Window 8操作系統(tǒng)，與此同時其服務器和在線廣告業(yè)務也在不斷增長。

財富美國五百強排名：9

2011年盈利：202億美元

????福特汽車公司的凈收益比上年翻了兩番還要多，2011年是福特公司過去十年收益最好的一年。盡管很成功，福特公司也未能免除遭遇歐債危機的影響。該公司在歐洲的業(yè)務僅在2011年第四季度就損失了1.9億美元。公司在2011年泰國洪災期間也遭受了一定損失。但目前來看，福特公司發(fā)展勢頭很足。

Fortune 500 rank: 37

2011 profit: $23.2 billion

????It's all about change for the Redmond, Wash.-based software giant. While Microsoft's operating system business is still strong, it made up a smaller portion of the company's $23 billion in profits in 2011 (a 23% jump from 2010). The company's server and online advertising units are on the growth path, however, while the company is gearing up for the launch of its Windows 8 operating system.

Ford Motor

Fortune 500 rank: 9

2011 profit: $20.2 billion

????With a more than 200% increase in net income compared to the previous year, 2011 was the strongest year in a decade for Ford. Despite its success, the company was certainly not immune to the European fiscal crisis; its operations in Europe lost $190 million in the fourth quarter alone. The company also absorbed losses due to floods in Thailand in 2011, but Ford seems to be moving ahead in sixth gear.
