A couple of points:
1. Apple has a small share of the (desktop) computer OS market, but only compared to Microsoft.
2. Arguably, the vast majority of software professionals that are familiar with both believe that the OSX is superior to Windows, one reason being the BSD underneath. (Surely the linux techies here can appreciate that).
3. If Apple would sell OSX independent of the hardware, I believe its market share would skyrocket.
