So It's Come To This:'s Profile

I think you're being too harsh on Cook. He's a smart man and has held his own on the investor calls. I don't remember what Jobs was like when he first became CEO and did these types of product demos to the public but it was clear that his 'frontman' status didn't save him from getting fired the first time. And while he is a good frontman, its his vision that matters. But I'm confident that the management team will do fine. I think its easy to channel Jobs' dedication to quality that one can learn. And its not hard to see the long term strategy that Steve believes in when he comes up with ideas. Between Phil, Jon, and Tim, I'm sure they can press forward once their 3-5 year product roadmap expires.
