A book by Steve Wozniak gave some examples of Jobs being a jerk. It also seemed like Wozniak was toning it down as he tends to be polite.

Wozniak himself came across as if he may still be having some effects from his plane crash. Wozniak certainly created the Apple II himself, which made Apple successful. But ultimately Jobs seems to have had more drive and vision.

No, Wozniak created the Apple I. But he had a lot of help in creating the Apple II. . . which required Steve Jobs and his creative efforts in putting together a company and persuading people to invest and bringing their talents to bear in making a MANUFACTURABLE and SALABLE product that could make a profit. Steve Wozniak had no idea how to accomplish any of those things. Woz was a geek. . . but not ever a business genius. He wanted to give the Apple I away to his friends for the cost of materials. Jobs made him a multimillionaire many times over.
