Last time Woz did an interview I said pretty much the same thing, and I say it pretty much any time he pontificates on Apple (good or bad), his opinion on Apple is the same as anyone with the history in the industry he has. Useful, but not as relevant as it gets turned out to be. His involvement with Apple ended decades ago, so he's an observer from the sidelines. He makes an interesting point about Microsoft's creative development for sure, but because it's 'Apple cofounder disses Apple for Microsoft!' it has column inches galore thrown at it. Plus it ignores the fact that Apple's development cycle for it's products (release, iterate, 5 years in, release new product, iterate, repeat) has been ongoing for at least 10 years. Apple does innovate, they just do it on a much slower cycle than we'd all like, but it's good for business. I mostly like Woz because of his honesty and straightforward manner, but it's telling from the article: "He seemed to almost decry the iPad as something that's easy, for normal people, but not for the true nerdy geek.". Apple shouldn't be building products for the true nerdy geek, we're a small percentage of a small percentage. It'd be lovely if they made an Apple Macbook Pro developer edition with all sorts of random additional tools and ports and so on, but it'd sell poorly and be waste of time. We're not their core market. That's okay.
