Market share - who cares?
I'm just a small businessman and what counts to me is cash flow
and profitability. Growing the business at a rate I can control is
nice, but cash & profits come first.

Considering Apple's cash position (over $7.5 Billion net) and
profitability I think they are doing OK. Far better than IBM or
Compaq managed - and how's HP doing these days? Apple is
spending around half a billion a year in R&D while HP is cutting
their R&D. Who's building for the future?
