Yes, this is all very true. If I'd thought "Jobs matters" was going to be so controversial I would have prepped the examples better! Even if they were minor, I think they show a tendency that Apple has, and always has, that very few people can rein in -- or at least that there are very few people that Apple will allow to rein in. More than anything, Jobs's return brought focus to Apple. With him gone, that will be the challenge more than any of the PR sizzle or attention to detail that he also brings. That focus is something that must be brought to the table. After all, Apple keeps its staff a very long time. This is still, at some level, the company that loves to make new things but will channel that energy into OpenDocs and Dylans and Soups and MPWs and zillions of other cool things that don't get it where it needs to go. Are any of the current leadership team the type to bring that focus that harnesses that energy? I haven't seen it yet.
