"Even as a fan of Mac products I think Steve Jobs gets too much credit."
I couldn't agree more.
Jobs epitomizes everything that so many of us detest about big companies, so I have to wonder why anyone here actually likes or even respects him.
He doesn't invent squat, or developed any hardware, written any software... so why is it that it's ok for Jobs to claim sole credit for everything Apple produces?
At the same time, Microsoft not only bends over backward to take care of 3rd party software developers (most of the time), Microsoft also explicitly gives credit to the developers that wrote the software.
When Jobs released the mac, he had the mac programmed to announce that Jobs was its creator... never mind all of the people at Xerox PARC who actually invented all of the technology inside, including the UI.
And when Gates announced Windows 95, he brought out the development team and gave them credit.
So who's the better person? Obviously not Jobs.
