Biggest problem is that Cook might succumb to board wishes and requests. Something Jobs dealt with aggressively and pushed his ideas for better or worse. Cook doesn't have that persuasion and doesn't have rights like Jobs (the founder of Apple) to go against the board if they request something stupid and try to have Apple act more corporate.
Apple is Jobs for better or worse and no amount of drilling and explaining of strategies can change that. Cook isn't Jobs, it's simple as that. While they might be ok in short term, as they run through their current ideas and product roadmaps, that's when troubles might begin.
For people to think he magically transferred all of his ideas and thoughts to Cook is ludicrous. You have to be hands on with problems and situations as they arise while running a company and that's what made Jobs Jobs and nobody can replace that. If it was easy every other company would have a CEO like Jobs, but they don't.
