Stephen,et al:
Jobs' contributions a lot more than Bill Gates'. As I see it, he didn't invent anything...just resold or stole stuff that others did.
Gates also benefited greatly, IMF(oolesh)O, from the same "lets compete on technology instead of price" mentality I attributed to Mr. Jobs, this time displayed by the executives at Softech Microsystems when pricing the UCSD-p operating system for the original IBM PC at a level TEN X higher than Microsoft was charging for MS/DOS.
Had the p-System been priced @ $40 a pop, Mr. Gates would still have to work for a living, sez I.
And what might Apple's market share be today if they had competed on the basis of price instead of technology?
