This set of slides puts forward the relationship between Steve Jobs and Bill Gates in a brief and concise way. Very useful when the time is an important concern.

1. RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN
STEVE JOBS AND BILL
GATES
There’s no relationship in history like that of Steve
Jobs and Bill Gates. As partners and rivals, they
built the personal computing industry with two
totally different styles.

2. Macintosh Employee, Andy Hertzfield, is quoted
saying:
“Each one thought he was smarter than the other
one, but Steve generally treated Bill as someone
who was slightly inferior, especially in matters
of taste and style. Bill looked down on Steve
because he couldn’t actually program.”

3. Jobs and Gates, in a sense, grew up together. They
were within a year of the same age, and they were
kind of naively optimistic and built big companies.
And every fantasy they had about creating products
and learning new things — they achieved all of it.
And most of it as rivals. But they always retained a
certain respect and communication, including even
when Jobs was sick.

4. The complex relationship between Bill Gates and
Steve Jobs began in the late 1970s, when Microsoft
was making most of its money writing software for
the Apple II.
The rivalry between Steve Jobs and Bill Gates has
been well documented through the years, with Jobs
famously condemning Microsoft for making “really
third-rate products” in 1995, whereas years later
Gates claimed “"There's nothing on the iPad I look
at and say, 'Oh, I wish Microsoft had done it'," in
2010.

5. The two men spent hours reminiscing together in
the months before Jobs’ death in 2011, with Gates
saying “There was no peace to make. We were not
at war. We made great products, and competition
was always a positive thing. There was no [cause
for] forgiveness.”
