Bill Gates, the owner of Microsoft got a bit of emotional while talking about one of the greatest inventors of all time, Steve Jobs. Bill Gates said that in a sense, he and Steve Jobs have grown up together. The two guys belonged to the same era and they had almost quite similar stories. They both built inspirational and huge companies who both ruled their respected fields. The two tycoons had some unreal dreams, but, their imagination and hard work made them real, they got almost everything that they dreamt of. The former richest man of the world further commented that even after being fierce rivals, he still respected Steve Jobs.
Bill Gates and Steve Jobs remained in contact throughout the era and even when Jobs was ill, Gates used to visit him and wished him good health. They both had a special relationship that no one else ever had. Steve Jobs was a pure genius and a kid that had some creative imaginations, who belonged to the working class. However, Bill Gates was born in a lawyer’s family and was a geeky kind of a guy since his childhood, he was bought every single book by his parents that he asked for, at the age of 11 Gates really ‘blossomed intellectually’.
Jobs and Gates both thought that each one is superior to the other. When they were young or you may say when they were immature, they taunt each other fairly bluntly and showed no respect whatsoever.
Steve Jobs also never let go any chance to taunt on Gates.
However, the rivalry between the two had benefited the computer technology a lot. The race to do better than each other revolutionized the computer technology. Where he Microsoft produced some amazing PC operating systems, Apple has blessed people with some extraordinary hardware as well as software.
