Why Steve Jobs HATED Bill Gates

Join us on for more conversations and debates on these topics on The Afters Podcast https://youtu.be/iScXrTX7qGM

To this day, my favourite Bill-Steve moment was at D5 in 2007, where Steve ended the interview describing their relationship with this quote: "You and I have memories longer than the road that stretches out ahead."

as someone who's really into tech, I appreciate how you explained this from a tech-first perspective rather than solely business. you did a great job man

I think you were wrong to portray Gates as just a 'nerd' - he was a shrewd, ruthless businessman too.

Mr. Giant is taking on more and more ambitious videos. I am impressed.

So Steve Jobs is broke and is pretty much homeless but then he can afford to fly to India and live there for 7 months… That doesn’t add up…

The rivalry served them both and their respective corporations extremely well.

Amazing rivalry. They reshaped the planet. I wonder if they would have reached such heights without one another

I'm glad that Bill Gates and Windows existed alongside Mac. Now way I would've been able to afford a Mac in my younger days. Thanks to Bill and Windows, I'm a programmer today,

Always found it funny how Microsoft has a recycle bin whereas apply has a trash can

It was Jobs vs Gates, now it's Elon vs Zuckerberg

I love it when a friend come into my life and pushes it in a new and better direction. So far I've only had one friend that did that. To know Wozniac was that friend for Job makes me like him even more.

The NExT computers weren't so much a failure, they were never marketed to the masses, instead they were made for use in companies and universities. The price tag reflected that. They found plently of customers in their niche, famously the World Wide Web began on a NExT Cube.

Hate leads to ass cancer, everybody. Be positive.

I love how Gates didnt even deny he stole it. He literally just said "yeah so like.. actually what are you doing do about it?" even though Apple was a more powerful company at the time.

NEXT was also not a failure. It started out rough but they ended up becoming profitable and the tech they designed there became the foundation of OSX once apple bought them

Gates kinda looked like Dahmer when he was young

Congrats on 300k

Thanks for making the video, but there were a lot of errors in it, some omissions and some events that were ok, but in the incorrect order in the timeline. I don’t think they were intentional, there’s just a lot of history to condense into a short video. I lived and worked through all of this history so have some deeper and more day by day recollections. There’s too many points to raise in a YouTube comment - but perhaps one worth mentioning was that when Microsoft “invested” money into Apple, it also came with a shared patent agreement. Microsoft were copying Apple incredulously, willfully and deliberately in the late 1990s. Apple had been fighting Microsoft in the courts but it was a losing battle against Microsoft’s dominance and bottomless finances. So Apple needed the money, Microsoft needed Apples patents. More importantly Microsoft needed to be seen to bring back Microsoft Office to the Mac (Excel was the first Microsoft product, and it was first released on the Mac) and Apple needed to offer that product to their customers. So the 1997 deal was more of a win, win for both parties, just for entirely different reasons. Another note would be that Microsoft Windows while dominant in the market, was a terrible, brittle OS that sat on top of MS DOS, however it was cheap, it was mostly compatible with anything and it thrived despite its shortcomings due to a lack of a viable competitor. Fast forward to today and Apple is worth US$2.73T, Microsoft is US$2.36T and the newcomer Google is US$1.65T. The market has matured and has far more options today. Interestingly - and finally - it was a NeXT Computer that was used by Tim Berners-Lee at CERN and became the world's first web server.

Honestly, Good One. I remember, not long after Steve Jobs passed, CNN made a small segment documenting his life and NONE of what you’ve covered was mentioned and I took that at face value, but after watching your video, I have felt rather enlightened.
