Apple makes phones, tablets, laptops, desktops, media player (apple TV), keyboards, mice, touchpads, itunes music, itunes movies & tv, app store, a collection of retail stores, headphones, wifi routers, iOS, OSX, Objective-C, iCloud and a medium selection of software titles including FinalCut, X-code and Works.
They are FOCUSED on iOS, OSX, phones, tablets, laptops and the app stores.
I think when you start listing out everything that Apple has, it isn't that much less than Microsoft. On top of the things that Apple makes, Microsoft has SQL Server, Exchange, Azure, Skype, Sharepoint, Bing, X-Box, Kinect, and a bunch more software titles.
Microsoft isn't focused on a single product as much as industry verticals. They are focused on Enterprise customers with a lot of their tools, Gamers with X-Box and are growing (or trying to grow) in the consumer space where they haven't been as successful over the last few years.
