That chick needs to just shut up.

"A sweater without sleaves"? Really.

It is funny how Gates comes off as the more likable person.

But Bill Gates is the devil or so I'm told by the Apple fanatics.

i'm a mac fan, and i wouldn't call bill gates the devil. he's done a lot of good for the world.

plus, he's just running his business as well as he can. does that come off as ruthless sometimes? sure. but he's the one with the amazing business model. my hat is off to him.

I think the apple commercials capture their fundamental personalities pretty well. Jobs seems like an older version of the "I'm a Mac" guy. Hip with an ever-present tone of muted condescension. Gates comes off as a milder version of the "I'm a PC" guy. Dorky, but likable.

xminus6 is right; Jobs has never been known for his friendly personality.

I'm as much of a mac fan as anybody but I also realize the Mac and Microsoft Word were mutually beneficial. In fact that was one reason I got a Mac; to run Word.

Best Quote:

Gil Amelio: "Apple is a ship with a hole in the bottom. It's my job to point that ship in the right direction."

Classic.

The daughters of Bill Gates and Steve Jobs
They're competitive (and accomplished) equestrians. So they're carrying on the rivalry between Gates and Jobs. Difference being that these two are actually friends.
