Why Steve Jobs is still important
May 11, 2004, 11:00 AM PT
By George Colony 

"If Jobs and team point their considerable innovation and creativity
back toward desktop applications, they could blow a lot of new thinking
into the market. Call it "iWorks"--an integrated desktop suite based on
Linux. Apple would feature iWorks first on the Mac and then make it
available on Intel machines. This would mean that 5 percent of desktops
would have Linux desktops right out of the chute--a great start for the
first serious Linux-based Microsoft Office fighter. This one's a
stretch, given that Mac is based on OpenBSD, not Linux. But if the
opportunity becomes compelling, I'll bet Jobs will move."
