“Both were giants, regardless of which side you were on in the PC vs. Mac debate, certainly Bill Gates would have deserved all of the kudos that Steve Jobs received.

But somehow I don’t think that would have been the case.”

Good point. I suppose it’s in part because the gadgets Gates invented didn’t become objects of idolatry by millions of shallow worshippers.

And to put it mildly, which one of the two would have scored more with the chicks?

Gates & Jobs created entire industries. Industries that transformed society in certain ways. Sometimes for the good; sometimes not.

Jobs had a little more flair. But otherwise they both were/are great men.
