It was actually called "Pirates of Silicon Valley." > For the experts on apple and msoft that have seen this > movie how real was this, without taking sides? I asked Steve Wozniak this exact same question ... after all, he was there! :) He said that the movie's portrayal of events was "highly compressed" (showing things happening nearly simultaneously that really happened over many weeks or months -- this is very normal in filmmaking) in order to show all the "exciting stuff" quickly. He also said that of course all the dialogue was contrived, BUT ... and this is the interesting part ... he felt the movie's portrayal of the PERSONALITIES of Bill Gates, Steve Jobs and himself were "very accurate" and that many of the events as described in the movie DID happen, just not as quickly as it seems to a viewer and not exactly in those words.
