    Steve jobs is – really – clever. Without him, Apple was collapsing. In 1997 he returned in Apple and became again the chairman, as he had been till 1984. Since then, Apple is rising again and has also become a good competitor to MSoft. He is a good businessman, as he understands the needs of the market.

    It was more for publicity than anything. Apple was collapsing and if they could get Microsoft, their biggest competitor, to show that they felt Apple wasn’t dying, it’d save Apple.

    Completamente en desacuerdo con la actitud de algunos de los fanáticos de Apple, yo soy uno uso Mac y me encantan los productos de Apple, pero respeto a Bill Gates, quieran o no ambos son gigantes de la industria.

    Even after all this time this still makes me feel ill. Steve knew what he was doing, but I am glad that Apple are now looking down their noses at MS again. The more Mac evolves the more it leaves Windows behind. Mac OS – original and still the best :o )

    This is just so ironic for Jobs. Look at the first mac add, there master towering over them. Mac stood for a new ideal, but, as it happens, they find themselves in the same place as they started, there new master towering over them.

    Sad…
