Well
depends on how you read the chart and the article

Me thinks

1 - Apple (ONLY) beats MS in cash equivalents - This means that MS has tons of bills to pay and charge offs , where Apple has none . Sooo Apple gets to keep more cash in its back pocket .

2 - Market share ? well this is relative and growth is only good for stocks , example
MS has 90% and Apple 10% - When you look at the chart that shows that MS has to sell more crap then Apple say a 10 to 1 product ratio and still bearly beats Apples in revenue

So Apple can sell much less products and still beat MS with cash in the end game

Bottom line;
MS who has 90% of the market should beat the shiit out of Apple in every cash category <-- hands down . This shows me that MS is not selling to 90% more shiiit that it needs

Even in Apple's worst years, they were sitting on over $2 billion in reserve, IIRC.

Yeah that chart is kinda funky ?

When it says "revenue" it should mean Gross
When it says "income" it should mean Net
When it says "cash equivalents" it should mean reserve
