I'm surprised Jean-Louis didn't highlight the similarity between Intel's refusal to focus on mobile and his own push-back on licensing MacOS a decade earlier. Both decisions (cultures) have to do with switching from a high-margin product to a low-margin product, with no guarantee that you'll make up the difference in volume.
- ChuckMcM 8y agoI agree that it would have been a good example of where Apple could have encroached on the Windows market more effectively. That said, the margins Apple has continued to make on its hardware suggest that not licensing MacOS was the right choice for the company.
- scarface74 8y agoThe issue was never licensing. The issue was that he chased after margins and not market share.
