I dislike the cult of Jobs, but I do have moments of respect for him in "brand" sense he had very strong drive not to "dilute the brand" and I would think most apple shareholders (I am not one consciously but who knows what tech stocks my pension fund holds) would agree. There hasn't been a time since his return to apple where a shareholder had reason to question the long term value.
I wanted hackintosh to work forever. I even ran one, somebody else front loaded the work to get it flying. It was a dog. It was a huge mistake. I'm glad I wound up accepting the apple tax into my life and just buying the mainline product.
