while I agree with google leading in phone OS the apple statement is plain false and pure consumer trend BS.... market shares for apple for the PC OS market has barely moved over the last decade.... heck even windows vista has a better instal base than their last OS X distribution.... windows 8 has already past them too.... server is completely inexistent and I don't know any IT who would recommend a mac server with a straight face and even a mac computer park unless it is a very specific market and even then it is usually pure trend BS again.... even adobe recently has been performing better on PCs....
and now the phone market.... apple has been losing market share to WP8 and android on every major market in the world with almost no exception.... apple is and always has been a trendy niche market for fanatics and fashionistas and noobs periode.... and it is not about to change.... investor went ape shit on the market value of that company and took half a decade to realize it was BS.....
all that being said MS is yet to be really in a difficult position it is just investors that are looking for a new dot com buble are trying to scramble on the behemoth that is MS.... which doesn't enter in that category.... they touch to way more markets and businesses that both of those company combined.... proof is their RD budget dwarfs apple budgets by almost double and google by a 25% more last time I checked... MS is not a company that will take 200% in 5 years in market cap... but it is an ice breaker with solid foundations that can maintain course even in an hectic market with very little risks...
