Well THE scariest moment was when a desperate, cash-burning Apple put Amelio in charge and killed Copland.

Honorable mention goes to Apple nearly buying BE instead of NeXT.

Interesting selection. I think if Microsoft make such thing the first place among the spookiest moments the moment of its appearing will take. But who knows, maybe release of Windows Vista will oust it.

MacKeeper- MS’s scariest moment will be the day Steve Ballmer gets fired. It’ll take the entire Redmond police department to remove him from campus. “Officers! Officers! Officers!”
