you're right
Evidently it's not just me that thinks Microsoft just isn't much of a factor these days.
Maybe he can ask him how he gets away with the Apple Tax. Every business should be so lucky.
It's got nothing to do with "luck."

Funny how no one complains when they buy a B+O stereo about the price, yet, buy an Apple product and everyone thinks it should be as cheap as all the other ugly stuff out there.

The apple tax is to pay for his time machine.

Or that they never mention the Microsoft Tax when they pay $$ to MS on a PC that doesn't even have Windows on it, or on a phone that doesn't have any MS software on it.
Now THAT's a tax.
Premium prices for a great product are NOT a 'tax'.
As for that comment about Asbergers, I don't know (or care) whether Jobs has it, but I think a certain amount of mental disorder is necessary to achieve almost anything earth-shattering because it requires a level of obsessiveness and/or arrogance that I think most psychologists would think is not healthy. "Normal" people seek the approval of others, find balance between work and family and are logical about the potential success of their ideas in the real world, all of which limit what they can achieve.
People like Jobs, Ellison, Gates, Zuckerberg, etc., all have qualities that exhibit what most of us would consider abnormal or undesirable behavior at least some of the time. Same is true for most great artists (Picasso treated women like crap), musicians (John Lennon carried lots of issues about abandonment) and even figures like Ghandi and Martin Luther King.
See, kids of the world... college is a huge waste of time when you're talented and driven... and if you have Aspergers.
As lisa simpson found out on last weeks Simpsons while trying to show Nelson how important school was, too bad she ran into Gates, Branson and the thief zuckerbuergenmiester at the trade show.

So true GQB, I think MS has done so much monetary damage to, not only PC manufacturers, but also the enduser. Whether they be a corporation or the public. MS has continually marketed subpar, buggy software. And they have gotten away with it! Till now!
It rather reminds me of back in the 70's when American Car manufacturers were complacent enough to produce such "triumphs of engineering" like the Pinto, Vega, Maverick, Javelin, Pacer, etc., etc., The Japanese came in and showed them how to really make a car and money at the same time!

Jobs: I took two hits of acid, and I'm totally trippin right now
Woz: Common Steve ... my parents are going to be home soon!
Jobs: No, no man ... check it out. This stuff really opens your mind ...
Woz: Last time you used it you went on a twenty minute diatribe on Twinkies ...
Jobs: Check it out ... like in the future man ... phones, they won't have any buttons, and they will be able to hold and play all your music and photos and stuff.
Woz: Damn ... you are trippin!
