Ex-Apple CEO John Sculley Dishes On Steve Jobs
digitaldc writes "Here's a full transcript of the interview with John Sculley on the subject of Steve Jobs. It's long but worth reading because there are some awesome insights into how Jobs does things. It's also one of the frankest CEO interviews you'll ever read. Sculley talks openly about Jobs and Apple, admits it was a mistake to hire him to run the company and that he knows little about computers. It's rare for anyone, never mind a big-time CEO, to make such frank assessment of their career in public."
The people who are tech savvy enough to know better stick with Linux and their own hardware they can upgrade. Or go with Windows and harden it themselves knowing that the Apple OS has just as many flaws (known or unknown) and isn't worth the extra cash.
Apple is for people who want to appear to be tech savvy to everyone else and look down their noses at people who don't purchase Apple stuff.
Steve Jobs is an excellent salesman, though. He could take a pile of dog crap, label it the iDooky, put an Apple logo on it, and people would still buy it and swear that it's the best dog crap you can buy and that any other dog crap is inferior...well...crap.
Just my $0.02.
