Do you think Apple would Now be in a much stronger position [in the market place] if someone had allowed the cloning of machines earlier than the decision was taken to do so …. and would allowing the deals set in place in the late 90s to be brought to fruition have helped the numbers out there?

Woz

I think that Apple would be primarily a software company now and would be the size of Microsoft, which would be greatly diminished. I’m not sure that cloning would have given businesses the incentive to pass on IBM but we would have owned the consumer market.
