He may be recognized as such but that doesn't make it true.

Oh but opposite is true because you spout it on a message board. Stop being a giant turd.

There is more to business success than the product. Jobs shaped, directed, and guided a large portion of Apple's success.

All of his peers are correct or you? Which should I pick?

10 years? This was just a few years ago. And of course I read about it after it happened

You read about after it happened. He returned when Apple bought Next, which was a total surprise to the market, described as "Stunning", "shocking" and similar terms. And it wasnt unanimously well received, with the stock price barely moving. There was no surge when he returned. The stock price finally moved up a bit a year later with an unexpected quarterly profit. There was no surge in stock price until 10 years later.

You could of course study his life and arrive at your own conclusions.

Start with why and under what conditions did Wozniak leave Apple? Next look into the Apple III and why it, and some later Macs, had no cooling fan. Then investigate Jobs involvement in the antitrust lawsuits against Microsoft.

Jobs has very successfully created a cult of personality but that doesn't change history.

I will just leave this by saying I have come to my own conclusions and they reflect on your intelligence levels.

And this is why I'll be glad when his cult dies out. I present facts and you cannot deal with the facts so its time for insults.

He also shaped directed and guided a much bigger portion of fail for Apple.

Such as (deep breath here) the the Macintosh Cube (which stiffed), pulling the plug on all all of John Scully and Gil Amelio's product lines on being reinstated (which meant that Apple dropped about six different bollocks at once), blocking all attempts to license the Mac OS, pulling the plug on the cheap Mac clone manufacturers, nobbling the Apple III by giving a set of design requirements that doomed it from the off, the hilariously overpriced (and crap) Lisa, pissing off the entire Apple II development group by hijacking their expo to big up the Macintosh before its launch and forcing Apple to buy up the shitawful NeXt OS rather than its rival for OS X, the rather more impressive BeOS.

And that's without even getting into how badly the other company company he formed outside of Apple tanked...

The man is the David Brent of IT, and Apple will be better off without him.
