I don't usually find the patience to read Robert X Cringely's posts, but I did on this one .
Was is it wrong of Jobs to drop the price of the 8-gig iPhone from $599 to $399 less than three months after the product’s introduction? I'm undecided no on that. Was it a strategic move aimed to milk early adopters? I suspect so.
Has he beaten Gates? Depends on how you view life, but the numbers have to count.

Not sure how you'd measure 'best managed'.
However, what many people don't realise is that Apple has more market share in laptops and desktops than Dell or HP!
