That may be a bit simplistic, but it does make you wonder to what extent Apple's currently chosen strategy was good business sense, and how much of it was the desire of a man facing his own mortality to desperately protect a legacy that would survive him.

To be honest I have no idea what kind of influence Jobs had at Apple in his final year so the above is just musing out loud.

> we wouldn't have had these stupid patent wars.

Patent wars are as old as this country is - there's just too many floating around. In any case, it has nothing to do with Jobs.
