Someone's done that figure:

"Mind you, if we take inflation into account, Microsoft's bubble-era 
valuation looks even more impressive. The company's peak 1999 market cap 
would be worth $857.2bn in 2012 dollars, making Microsoft comparatively 
much more valuable than Apple at both companies' respective peaks."
