This is pretty awesome. The fine people at Notcot have dug up an old copy of Fortune magazine featuring a cover story of the fall of Steve Jobs. This was, of course, after Jobs was ousted by the Apple board and slowly began its decline into irrelevance.
Things have changed, of course, with Jobs back in charge and Apple on top, but sometimes we fans need to remind ourselves that things weren’t always this good. It’s important to know that it could all fall away again.

He surely got the last laugh… his original downfall was just what he needed to re-emerge as the uncontested king of Apple!

King of Microsoft > King of Apple.
Bill gates, being the richest man in the world, surely counts as having the last laugh?

Please hire an editor. The word “its” in the setence “This was, of course, after Jobs was ousted by the Apple board and slowly began its decline into irrelevance.” has no clear reference. My first thought was that “its” would refer to the subject of the sentance, but “Jobs” would be referred to by “his”. Then my next guess was “its” referred to the other relevant noun in the sentance, but the “Apple board” has not declined into irrelevance. By context, I’m guessing that “its” referrs to Apple, Inc. (formerly Apple Computer, Inc.).

Money is irrelevant here. All your statement says is that your are a microsoft fan…

Hmmm, in most industries with only a few players, having less than 10% of the market share indicate that your losing streak is still intact.
