Steve Jobs Explains Why He Killed The Xserve [Video]

Well, it’s not exactly a direct explanation of why Apple pulled the plug on Xserves (at least not more than “hardly anyone was buying them”) but it gives you an idea of what Steve Jobs really thinks of the Enterprise market.

With excerpts from Apple’s January 2010 event (the iPad announcement, good times) and the D8 conference in July 2010, Steve Jobs clearly states that Apple is a mobile company and people in Enterprise don’t think with their own minds. Those who do are confused, Steve claims.

You can find unexpected revelations in old Steve Jobs videos. Let’s all go back to watching that iPhone 4 keynote and find some hidden Verizon clues in there.
