&gt;<i>Wozniak has stepped up and talked more frankly about Jobs&#x27;s real role inside Apple, especially during the early days.</i><p>Not to belittle the Woz, but those were the least interesting Apple days though, with regards to modern computing -- Lisa, Mac, NeXT, OS X, iPod, iPhone -- those are things that still resonate today.<p>&gt;<i>people are recognizing that Jobs was a control freak and that technical people do not want to live in his locked down, curated universe.</i><p>Is that true though? In the last 5-10 years I&#x27;ve never seen any collection of technical people (programming conference etc) were a large percentage, usually the majority didn&#x27;t run OS X on Apple laptops.<p>(And I like a locked down curated universe myself for some stuff, even though I started on HPUX and SunOS in pre-Solaris days).
