Well Apple and Bill Gates used to be great pals. In fact I read an old Apple advert that was singing the praises of Gates.

It seems weird to me that Schiller handled this question so poorly. Even if he wasn’t expecting it that day, I’m guessing that he has thought about this before (probably fielded questions about it before even?) and that it must have come up in meetings…their policy, the monopoly question, what their official line should be, etc…

Sinofsky is an interesting idea for a Steve Jobs replacement. There are, however, good candidates besides Schiller from within Apple. I’m surprised that there haven’t been more articles profiling the other possibilities. (Here’s one article that does – http://www.macworld.com/article/134995/2008/08/apple_executives.html )

Dr. Tantillo (’the marketing doctor’) did a post back in July on his branding blog, pointing out that Jobs and Apple are two separate–albeit intertwined–brands.
Tantillo argues that Jobs should have a succession plan. I don’t necessarily agree, but I do think he makes a good point about Jobs and Apple being two separate brands–Apple would be different with Sinofsky or anyone else. But different is not always bad.
