Steve Jobs and Apple were only interested in what was good for Apple and ensured their shareholders, of which he was a major one, profited. Personally I don't think there is anything wrong with that, but I'm at a loss to understand how he was some kind of visionary. In my mind he was an excellent marketeer and created demand for his products but I don't see anything visionary in what he did.

If you think I'm wrong then please feel free to point out why he should be considered a visionary.

maybe because he saw a way of making money from the music and computer business through good design and user friendliness combined with shrewd business practice, something that a lot of companies find it easier to fail at than succeed. not saying the word 'visionary' is the right one to describe such a person but i can't think of the right one. entrepreneur doesn't really do it as that's only good enough for a box shifter like Alan Sugar with Amstrad.
