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.

Ceasar: No, no ad, and no wiki. That was me just trying to put facts(along with my opinion) on the release date and OS comparison issue.
Thomas: I agree. I think part of the point was that Apple has not persued the busniness market(only recently do they lean that way with xserve, open directory, etc). NT is only now(XP) being pushed into the consumer market, so it is really two operating systems designed for opposing markets (NT for business/servers, OS X for desktops/artists) that are now mature enough to switch markets. An interesting approach and phenomenon to watch.
Ninja: I WANT a pda, yet one at a reasonable price, feature set and quality hasn't been put out. We need more competition to breed innovation, not less competition to breed a monopoly(MS is the lead, but even Palm as a monopoly is a Bad Thing).
