I think people discount how incredibly lucky Jobs was to have Woz as his partner to give him the momentum he managed to leverage. You can't compare the average technical co-founder to Woz. In fact, Woz is not the same Woz as he was back then, as the smart engineer with the right idea at that huge turning point in the history of microcomputers. Woz + Homebrew Computer Club + Apple I + 1976 made Jobs. Without Woz, I think there's a good chance Jobs would have ended up as another micro-managing charlatan at Microsoft. edit: Don't get me wrong. I love Jobs. I've read every book that's ever come out on him (I think).
