Past performance is not indicative of future results. Otherwise we would all be filthy rich by now.
Sticking to the topic: Apple is well on its way to becoming the future Sony. Microsoft is throwing money at everything it can (which is a surprisingly effective strategy sometimes), and Google is throwing money and brains at interesting problems.
but sony has proved that it could go on for almost seventy years even after the death of the founder, while apple had a pretty bad time when the charismatic leader was not there.
I am honestly wondering if apple can survive steve.
There were lots of rumors about the health of Jobs swirling around, the press was consumed with them – but that’s not the same as having a bad time. I think it’s still a open question as to whether Apple without Jobs can succeed and I would even go so far as to say I’m carefully optimistic.
sorry i did not express myself clearly: I was not talking of the recent health issues, I am thinking of the years in which he was not at apple (eightysomething to '97)

No, the market price of Microsoft stock would simply adjust to that expectation. In fact, this would preclude you from ever becoming filthy rich by making smart investments.
Depends on what I would swap with me. (E.g. am I allowed to keep my current age, or do I also swap the age with the rich guy from 1900? What about my health and knowledge?)

We live in interesting times indeed.
