Market share does not justify this valuation

Market share is only part of the puzzle. Margin matters, too, and that's where Apple really shines.

Microsoft and hardware vendors such as Dell/HP/etc., may comprise a much large market share, but they operate on a much lower margin as well.

BINGO!

I love tweeking liberals who just worship Apple by telling them of the 25-30% net profit margin for making toys vs. the “evil” oil companies who produce a vital product for our economy & standard of living makes a measly 6-8% net profit.
