Honestly, of the two icons shown in the movie, I'd rather take Gates to dinner over Jobs. Sure, he's shown as being a conniving schemer, but at the same time much less of a reprehensible human being (PoSV was not kind in its depiction of Job's handling of his daughter).
Q: "How was your relationship with Steve jobs? I always hoped that y'all were really good friends and competitors."
A: "He and I respected each other. Our biggest joint project was the Mac where Microsoft had more people on the project than Apple did as we wrote a lot of applications."
So Bill might be giving away some money nowadays, his character doesn't seem to have changed much, still taking credit where it isn't due.
All I have to go on is a handful of interviews, but I've never seen Steve Jobs act like anything other than a condescending douche bag towards Bill Gates and Microsoft.
Anyone know if there's any public evidence that they shared a mutual respect? If there is, I'd like to read / watch it.
Thanks. I'm not surprised that it exists, I just think the media likes showing the clips where Steve is busting Bill's balls over Windows supposed inferiority.
I'm going go finish the video now. I appreciate it.
