Is Microsoft the GE of the tech world?

General Electric is a large diversified conglomerate that focuses on various industrial markets. For a while now I have felt like Microsoft has become the GE of the technology industry. Microsoft is very much like a large diversified conglomerate, but it focuses on technology. While it isn't as diversified as IBM, Microsoft seems to have its hand in every major market in both the consumer and business space. With Microsoft's move to distribute cash through dividends, it is becoming harder not to think of them like GE.
