If memory serves, Erik personally had a business relationship with Apple at the time. He may have been a board member or advisor... So he actually did take _some_ orders from Steve.
This also isn't the only threatening email from Steve to Erik. There was a Google labs project that had been approved by apple legal that got an angry email from Steve too. The lawyers signed off, so Google was protected but it didn't prevent swift action. (The lab project was taken down but the dev was not in trouble.)
- nostromo 5y agoYes, Erick served on Apple’s board at the time.
- suyash 5y agoYes, Eric was on the board so he would be in the position to order, board member don't take order from CEO, they give. In this case, I think it was a friendly communication between two tech leaders.
- JumpCrisscross 5y ago> board member don't take order from CEO, they give Theoretically. In practice, Steve Jobs wasn't taking orders from Apple's Board in 2007.
