Steve Jobs among CRN's Top 25 Most Influential Execs

IBM's Sam Palmisano tops the list of CRN's Top 25 Most Influential Executives this year. Others include eBay's Meg Whitman, Sony's Hideki Komiyama and Apple's Steve Jobs--all of whom the publication says contributed a unique vision to the world of high technology: "Once again, Steve Jobs, the king of digital cool, managed to raise Apple's mindshare, if not market share, though his quest to stay at the forefront of innovation in the PC and consumer arenas."

Apple has, in point of fact, raised it's marketshare in the past two years. It has doubled its consumer marketshare, and risen overall from about 3.5% to 5%. May not sound like much, but:

1. It's UP.
2. Each percentage point represents at least a million new users.

" Jobs put Apple's aging Mac OS 9 to rest, earning critical mass for its Jaguar (OS X) operating system and laying the foundation for the 64-bit Panther OS, which came out in October."
Um...did I miss something? Panther is 64-bit native now?

Of course it's 64-bit. The G5 is a 64 bit processor. Do you think they'd be stupid enough to come out with a new version of OS X that didn't take advantage of that?
