I would say that the present day Bill Gates is a better bearer of that title. This is for better and for worse. So you find that Microsoft rarely delivers what its users ask for but, at the same time, Bill Gates donates most of his money AND TIME for research that is extremely important but not popular for usual donors. On the other hand, Steve Jobs, is very good at what he does. He is a perfectionist and has a good eye for what people will want to own. Plus he is a genius at packaging and marketing (even himself). (Remember how he always wears a black turtleneck and jeans. Quick, can anyone remember what Bill Gates was wearing in his last presentation?) So he has managed to keep Apple alive and kicking through the years. Of course, it does help that Apple has always had a subpopulation of rabid supporters who buy everything that the company makes. There is a very nice article in Ars Technica about how PC marketshare has changed over the years. Apple's trend in the last page is especially telling. Of course, it's nothing compared to Commodore's crash. Anyone remember the Commodores. :-)<BR/>http://arstechnica.com/articles/culture/total-share.arsShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12128315940733588582noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7271598488128349119.post-39514117828242497512007-05-13T15:44:00.000+05:302007-05-13T15:44:00.000+05:30gimme a break!
