Steve Jobs Microsoft Quotations

I wish him the best, I really do. I just think he and Microsoft are a bit narrow. He'd be a broader guy if he had dropped acid once or gone off to an ashram when he was younger.

When we announced the Microsoft deal six months ago in Boston, we heard boos which I thought was crazy. In an industry of 'flash-in-the-pan' partnerships, this has turned out differently. Microsoft is out to continue a very healthy application business on the Mac,

Unfortunately, people are not rebelling against Microsoft. They don't know any better.
