Jay Yarrow sees MS & Apple as equivalent
technologically and management style.I don't think so.
However Cook is a new player and is not Jobs
Apple has enough cash in the bank today, that if they never sold another product ever.... they could still operate and make payroll and bills for another Decade.
Apple is no MS, MS at this point in their growth was busy firing perfectly good and talented engineers because of a management decision regarding evaluations..... They missed the internet and had to lie cheat and steal to catch up... They missed mobile and no longer can lie cheat and steal to catch up.. they were so busy trying to defend what they had they missed what was coming... That’s been MS’s MO for over 2 decades now.
Apple is nowhere near a MS... will they change the world again in the short term? Probably not... but they will keep trying to. MS gave up on that long long long ago.
