According to many economists, Gilbert Amelio is the savior of businesses in trouble. With this in mind, the board of directors at Apple decided to appoint Gil Amelio to the board after reporting another huge loss in 1994. At the time, Michael Spindler was the head of Apple, and sales in every division. The board accepted Spindler's resignation and appointed Gil Amelio to the helm of Apple.

"the line "Apple was still stuck on an operating system obsolete ten years before." is a little over the top"
I was thinking the same thing. At the time, they were definately due for an update, but that update was really to re-extend the lead they had. At the time, Windows was very close to achieving parity. "Obsolite" is defined by what was then the standard. Windows was close to the mac OS, but the Mac OS was certinly not ten years behind.
The best microsoft has ever done in my opinion is maybe a 3-4 year lead... before OS X was released. After the fact, Apple increasingly retained its 10 year lead.
