More than 20 years ago Apple had three divisions - Apple II, Lisa, and Macintosh. Why have separate divisions? "Because it's easier to shut one down," --Steve Jobs.
It's also interesting to me that recently Apple lost it leaders in Hardware and Support - Tim Bucher, who until mid-November ran Apple's Macintosh hardware engineering and Mark Wilhelm, who served as vice president of AppleCare.
Something is definitely brewing at Apple - but it might not be what we are dreaming of.
Long live Mac OS X. I hope.
