These are the two best-managed companies in America, probably the world. Nadella has successfully transitioned MS from a software company to a leader in cloud-based business services. Cook has turned Apple from a niche hardware/design firm into a global behemoth that Jobs never would have achieved. Both have relegated the stalwarts of the tech industry such as IBM, who have failed to see emerging trends, and are late out of the gate, to the dust of history.The synergies afforded by cooperation are obvious. And both have made legions of smart investors billions.
Tim Cook has been a great CEO but isn’t Apple still coasting on what Steve Jobs (started) green lighted? Aside from the Apple Watch?
I hope Teams works better than it does on Windows but that can’t happen, Apple (the Mac) is a sidelight for Microsoft, they are mainly on the Mac platform to keep competition from other developers small, the same also applies to Google, offer free software and effectively keep the new developers small. There is no synergy.Uhhhh bullshit....like this entire post is bullshit. You just can't give credit where credit is due can you?
So Steve Jobs green lighted the migration to Apple Silicon across the entire line up? Steve green lighted Apple Watch? Steve Green lighted Mac Studio, the new displays, etc. Steve green lighted ATV+ with all of its content? Steve green lighted Apple Music and what it now provides? I'm sure I'm missing stuff. FFS dude...
And even with the stuff Steve green lit before his departure not just anyone can keep those products going as well as they are. We've seen this through past history of Apple where they can be going great and then a CEO change fucks the entire company up. Hell, it's happened to many other companies as well.
I know this is really gonna trigger people but IMO, I think Tim is a better CEO than Steve was long term. I'd go as far as saying Tim is one of the best CEO's in the history of not only Apple, but business in general.
