In web design class, we just finished watching the movie Pirates of Silicon Valley. It is a movie that follows Steve Jobs through his creation of Apple Computers, and Bill Gates and the development of Microsoft and Windows.
Personally, I would rather work for Bill Gates, even though Apple is probably more sucessful in terms of progress (the iPad is amazing!). Steve Jobs was very selfish and bossy, and not in a good way. At first, Jobs and Steve were in it together. But after gaining fame, Jobs didn't care about the company itself, only about the money and being first to develop everything. He was the "villian" to Bill Gates' "hero". Jobs lost his values and denied his family. He only cared for wealth and power.
Bill Gates was a lot "cooler" and composed, and he rarely lost his temper. Jobs ran around the office yelling at everyone all day. I would much rather work in his office, because I believe he would be easier to get along with and more understanding. I think he wouldn't have "lost himself" in the power and fame, and would keep developing computers because it was what he loved.
