In an interview, Steve Wozniak commented reactions following the announcement of Steve Jobs' medical leave. He stated that it would be difficult to preserve private life when the value of Apple share is so much dependent on Steve's health or actions. And he criticizes the need of some people/media to always look for personal or private information. He thinks that Steve Jobs' medical leave will have no impact on Apple operation, as the launch of a product is the last phase of a 1- or 2-years process.
In case of longer leave, he thinks that while Steve is important and charismatic, the company has talented collaborators and Steve is not the only one making Apple running smoothly.
