Steve Jobs did NOT deliver a hit with the Macintosh. The guy talking doesn't know a lot about the history of Apple. The Macintosh became a hit only about two years after it was introduced, after Aldus wrote Pagemaker for the Macintosh. A computer needs killer apps to become successful. Jobs didn't realize that at the time - he put lots of money in a product concept that previously failed (the Lisa) while Scully disapproved, that product flopped AGAIN, and then Jobs was sent away.
This speech really wasn't worth my time. Typical Apple fanboy rant.
