As a cub tech reporter many moons ago for the The Hamilton Spectator, I convinced my bosses to pay for the airfare from Toronto to San Francisco to report on a Macworld Expo. This was either the first or second Macworld for the reign of Jobs II -- his return to the company he co-founded after his ouster.
As he does at most Macworlds, Jobs gave the keynote and the atmosphere was electric. I've yet to meet a business leader who can exude the excitement and charisma he can. The only think I can remember about his talk is that this was before the iMac showed up and someone got up to talk about an early version of DreamWeaver.
But I digress . . .
Earlier this week, Jobs was back on the same stage I saw him on at the Moscone Convention Center in downtown San Francisco to announce that Apple's top-notch music software iTunes was now available (along with Apple's Music Store on Windows.) You can watch some video excerpts of his presentation at C|Net and Apple fans will get a kick out of Jobs' claim, delivered with a straight face to rousing applause that iTunes on Windows is "the best Windows app ever written."
Sad thing is, he could be right.
