IIRC, both Jobs and Gates ripped off Xerox.

yes your company is more inventive.. (using BSD now..) and it was saved by making a replacement for the Walkman.. but in real computing, i.e. BUSINESS apple is a boutique tool at best nice for artists and music people, and snobs that want to be happy that they paid 30% more for the same thing.. but in real world Micro$oft is the winner for actually doing things.
Oh and the apple ][ as not inventive not one part in it was created by Apple just assembled off the shelf parts with some tweaking. (commodore was for the $ better I think)

Steve Jobs Shocker: Bill Gates Should Have Dropped Acid Gee, thanks Steve. And, you should have had your operation when the doctors told you to, instead of treating it with vegetables & roots.
How'd that work out for ya?

Apple’s genius was in marketing to a segment of the population willing to pay more in order to feel like they’re “cool” and/or somehow unique.

I wonder if Jobs ever visited any of his slave labor,excuse me,worker’s paradise factories in China?

"He'd be a broader guy if he had dropped acid once or gone off to an ashram when he was younger," Jobs added.
What to think...
Well, put it this way, dropping acid or going off to an ashram when he was younger wouldn't have made Bill Gates a "broader guy." But if he had been inherently a more creative guy, he would more likely have dropped acid or gone off to an ashram when he was younger.

If only all these Steve Jobs biography quotes could be collected where one could read them all in one place... perhaps in book form... :D

Jobs, in his final meeting with Isaacson in mid-August, still held out hope that there might be one new drug that could save him. He also wanted to believe in God and an afterlife.
"Ever since I've had cancer, I've been thinking about (God) more. And I find myself believing a bit more. Maybe it's because I want to believe in an afterlife. That when you die, it doesn't just all disappear," Isaacson quoted Jobs as saying.
"Then he paused for a second and he said 'yeah, but sometimes I think it's just like an on-off switch. Click and you're gone," Isaacson said of Jobs. "He paused again, and he said: And that's why I don't like putting on-off switches on Apple devices."

"Bill is basically unimaginative and has never invented anything, which is why I think he's more comfortable now in philanthropy than technology," Jobs told author Walter Isaacson. "He just shamelessly ripped off other people's ideas." Better put some ice on that, Bill.

Gates didn’t have to drop acid.
Ever hear of MSLSD?
To: US Navy Vet
Life would be boring if everyone were the same, besides Gates had a certain level of success doing things his way.
If Jobs and Gates had a TV series it would be called 'Blowhard and the Nerd'.
To: US Navy Vet
Yes, because dropping acid is for *winners*. Right?
Just ask Charlie Sheen how that is working out for him.
To: US Navy Vet
I think Jobs should thanks Gates and MSFT for investing $150,000,000 in Apple to keep it from dying.

Doesn’t surprise me. One reason I’ve never been able to stand Jobs is that I saw him on a TV show years ago, complaining about how Bill’s guys were unimaginative peons, while the Apple guys in contrast “read poetry” and such things. I kid you not. You can only take so much self-importance and poncing around in a black polo neck, and I’m afraid that was about my limit.

You would think that at least one person on FR would discount this story because Walter Isaacson is the former chairman and CEO of CNN.
