If you walk into a BestBuy this week you may spot some new software peeking out from the shelves. Yes, Ubuntu is now available as a spiffy boxed set in stores and on-line.

Ok, amelio did better the scully, but he still had this sort of "Lets compete with the pc market head to head" thing going, and was working pretty hard at making macs more boring enough for business.
When jobs showed up first thing he did was kill the clones, second thing he did was put out a simple, flashy box and marketed the hell out of it to college students and home users who found PCs too complected. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l2-UuIEOcss)

OI! do your homework, Gil Amelio was good for apple, he made cutbacks and helped apple back on its feet. And he got software development back on track by killing many of the fruitless branches of the appletree development. And he also paved the way for Jobs. Without Amelio the company would have been runned into the ground by Scully's and his ilk's shananigans.
