+1 Stallman just spoke facts and I appreciate his honesty. There was nothing personal in his remark. The way some maudlins are reacting on the Internet looks like he said "Steve jobs was evil all through, I wanted him dead all along and now I regret that he did not die at my hands" :) ... All of the innovation came from others and Jobs stole designs as well. Apple is no innovative company ... the general thinking of marketing people like Jobs has been to 'avoid the headache of innovating' and 'if it is crap then market it as a feature'. People with Xerox for example developed windows, mouse, pull down menus, WYSIWG, ethernet, laser printer ... but the company was more interested in copier business. Their bureaucracy did not understand or was not interested in marketing. The development of PCs was due to a large number of people and Jobs hardly contributed except maybe at the marketing level.
