Education boss quits Apple By Macworld staff Thursday - September 19, 2002 Apple's former vice president of education products Cheryl Vedoe has quit the company to a post at Apex Learning, a US provider of online courses for high schools. She will become president and CEO of the company. Most recently she served as president of Apple's PowerSchool division. Apex Learning was launched in 1997 by Microsoft co-founder, Paul Allen. "With Cheryl's experience as a general manager and knowledge of educational technology, she is the ideal leader for Apex Learning as the company accelerates its efforts to help states, school districts and schools successfully use online learning to improve student outcomes," said Stephen Distler, Apex Learning's chairman of the board. Vedoe said: "Technology has fundamentally changed the opportunities available for students to learn. Apex Learning is well positioned to lead this change by ensuring all high-school students have access to quality online education experiences." macworld.co.uk

Jay Lyman - the company [Apple] still needs to sell its story more effectively to corporate markets, analysts said. If it cannot do so, it will be unable to reclaim market share from rival Microsoft, which now rules the operating system space with Windows. (snip) Apple has something really good to work on [with OS X]. Now they have to get people to think about them in a different way." (snip) "To really innovate, they've got to have a killer app for Mac," she said. Jeff Hayden - So. To win schools, get the kids back, and increase share, Apple MUST get itself reseeded back into businesses with better products than offered by Wintel. Then Dads will decide their kids have to use Macs to survive in the world..... OSX is a pretty good start. <><><><><> I think Jeff sez it best! HerbVic
