Seattle Times: Is Microsoft putting on a softer public face?

From Bruce Francis at MSNBC: "I interviewed Jobs [yesterday] morning. Quizzed him on the CEO search, and he walked off in the middle of a LIVE interview. A kinder, gentler Jobs? Not from my perspective!"

Here's the video. Requires Microsoft NetShow.

I just re-listened to the Jobs interview, and his last words were We agreed we weren't going to talk about this. That explains why he walked out. A thumb's up to the MSNBC folks for not editing that out.

A note to the remaining Mac enthusiasts who can't tolerate anything but mindless enthusiasm for their "cause" -- what you do has a clinical definition. It's called control. Look it up in a psychology textbook. It's ridiculous to think that your viewpoint is the only valid one. To try to make people conform to your view of the world is a very offensive and immature (and boring!) way to respond to disagreement.

To which I add... Steve Jobs says Think Different. I say Think For Yourself!
