Steve Jobs’ best year ever

Steve Jobs Leander Kahney wrote Steve Jobs’ Best Year Ever a while back, but it seems more appropriate to share it with you now that the year is just about over. After all, what are the chances of Steve announcing something as the ball drops?

I think the underlying theme for the year was the Intel switch, which I think it’s safe to say, was an overwhelming success. I personally underestimated how well it would go. I thought Rosetta would have far more limitations and performance issues, so I’m glad to see my fears were unfounded. I’ve since replaced my Power Mac with a Mac Pro and I have no regrets. Bravo Steve.

Leander breaks it down month by month, but breaking it up that way comes off a little dry, missing the overall big picture.
