> > " However Bill wants to be remembered, he was not the brash, inventive hero of the revolution. His Windows origin story ignores what history proves: Apple was the leader and Microsoft was the follower" Who cares? For those of us not personally involved in the beef, what matters is that somebody signs off the big technological leap for the masses. If it was the guy with the funny hair and glasses instead of the bald guy with glasses, that's not important. The big leap was signed off by Gates and Microsoft and they also signed off the other bigger leap which is allowing piracy across Microsoft's software portfolio. Would Jobs and Apple have done the same? Maybe, maybe not, anecdotal indicia say they'd have not done the same given how impenetrable the iPhone is and how they keep everything close to their chest and how they force people to pay 1500$ for the privilege of using their phone. Then again you never know.
