You're wrong because the system already had users, and was by definition usable.

Jobs was throwing off first impressions, not deep or well considered insights. The question is why a person would go negative in such a situation.

He's also wrong because Jobs never assembled a team to create a desktop PC that was as powerful, simple, extensible and well thought out as the full Alto stack.

Even when they started NeXT, they still didn't fully realize the full potential of full dynamic, late bounded, messaged based object-oriented programming system.
