So you judge an entire company by a memory of something you saw or read or think you saw or read about what two ex-Apple employees said in a vague sort of way? Both Apple and Microsoft have wonderful reputations as employers. I know people that have been working for Microsoft or Apple for twenty years and they can't imagine leaving, they love their jobs.
Yes, Steve Jobs has a vision but he turned a company that had to borrow 150 million dollars from Microsoft to survive into a company that now has a market cap of more than Microsoft. It's having a vision that makes Apple different.
Steve Jobs understands that the average user doesn't want or need complexity. iOS devices are, on the surface, simple. There may be an entire OS X style OS in your iPhone/iPod/iPad, but you don't need to know about it. It's user friendliness, where Amiga began all those years ago when it was the most user friendly system. Had the original Amiga vision stood you would have had AmiPods, AmiPads and AmiPhones that wouldn't be very different from iPods, iPads and iPhones.
