Today Jobs hinted they have plans for a project based on the web. Jobs is looking for the next big thing, and in the future all applications and all our documents will be based and stored on the web or on the network. Why not start with a "killer-app" like Quicken right now? We could store all our Quicken files, portfolios, etc on the web, and "carry them with us" in a certain sense wherever we go, as long as we have a connection to the web. I don't know, just thinking aloud and letting it flow...

I don't find the story credible. My guess would go like this: Surely
Campbell told Jobs in advance that he was discontinuing Intuit Mac, and
Jobs could have headed it off by telling Campbell the secret Apple plans
then. Probably Jobs tried to head it off but didn't offer enough, so the
plan had been for Campbell to leave the Board. Then Jobs must have
realized he had to try harder. Jobs must have bought Campbell off after
the fact, sweetening the pot for Campbell with promises of bundling, and
after coming to an agreement about Intuit, Campbell had to stay on the
board. Just my attempt at reconstruction, of course.
