[edit] Switching to Linux

I removed the following passage from the article because it has no source and I couldn't find anything out there to corroborate it:

Kawasaki has recently switched from using Macs to using Linux, because he's disappointed in the route that Apple has taken, in relations to DRM and other issues.

If anyone has any reliable sources for this passage, feel free to re-add it with the source cited. —Cleared as filed. 23:21, 1 March 2007 (UTC)

Since Guy recently gave an interview talking about his new MacBook Air, it's probably incorrect :) Ianbetteridge (talk) 06:15, 11 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Unencyclopedic?

Can the person who finds this unencyclopedia please explain why? Though it does need a cite for the evangelism bit, that's something he gets invited to conferences to discuss, and I'm not sure why deletion would be the answer (esp. with his bibliography being as extensive as it is). thanks --76.19.16.203 20:26, 16 June 2007 (UTC)

--No, I don't find this article unencyclopedic. It's very interesting. However, it seems a bit too general. I wish there was more info about him and marketing evangelism in the article. Obviously, Guy's a very bright individual, but a lot of his success can be attributed to being in the right place at the right time.

As someone who witnessed the birth of the Mac and it's earliest days as a product, I can only say that no proper history of the Macintosh would be complete without a discussion of Guy Kawasaki's role in spreading Mac fever. He was/is a part of Mac history. Anyone who was there would tell you the same thing. Bbm 04:51, 18 June 2007 (UTC)
