And yet there is room to grow. When Microsoft peaked, they had almost achieved a monopoly-sized market share. Apple on the other hand has managed to grow this large despite their most successful product having a minority market share. It is both impressive and just a little bit scary.

- justin66 12y agoI read your comment as implying that Apple's potential to swallow the world by increasing in size is scary. The other way of looking at it, if you're an Apple investor: Apple's lack of a "moat" is scary.
