this is all you've ever got. It might be true if the legions of current Apple customers all watched his keynotes, which is far from the truth.Everyone keeps talking about his "vision" and how much of a "visionary" he was. I think this really undersells just how great of a salesman he was and tarnishes his reputation as such. The guy didn't have a vision, he sold you one. As spidey put it, he took the technology out of technology. Not because he made it easier to use, but because he sold us on it. He sold us on the fact that this was the future. How often did Apple release the best product they could possibly offer? Almost never, they could have always of thrown in more processing power, battery juice, storage capacity, etc, they didn't have to though because Steve could sell a blind man a Rembrandt. Because of his great salesmanship he pushed us in a good direction.
What Apple understands very well is user experience and industrial design. Your oversimplification of his role at Apple tarnishes his reputation more than anybody short-selling his salesmanship.
Wreckem stated it better than I have.
