Apple was the clear winner from its recent conference, but how did Microsoft succeed as well? And why did Google get a small "L" slapped on its forehead?

Apple (AAPL 0.52%) was obviously the biggest winner from its recent World Wide Developers Conference. But would you believe that the second biggest was Microsoft (MSFT -2.45%)?

Apple has integrated Microsoft's Bing search into some products that move search into the OS layer rather than from Web browsers. In addition, by creating extensions, something like Microsoft's Office Suite can tie in with much better integration across apps in iOS. Apple is also using Bing in lieu of Google (GOOG -1.96%) in a number of desktop functions.
