Actually Samsung has been trouncing Apple recently. April-June 2012 Samsung sold three times as many phones as Apple. Hence Apple's lawsuits and attempts to get Samsung phones (the phones that most people want) banned outright.

Apple is a house of cards; reduced to desperate lawsuits to stave off the inevitable. And as much as I disliked Jobs, it does seem he was exactly the talismanic/tyrannical figure the company needed. Apple sure didn't fare too well in the past without him.
Microsoft is a shadow of what it was 10 years ago, and they have a virtually immovable desktop monopoly to rely on. Apple has nothing like that. iPod and iPad sales are nothing like as secure.
