<p>Yes! I read the book by Steve Wozniak called "iWoz" about the development of the company (great book btw). It seems that he was pushed out gradually by the business-man Jobs, which is disgusting.</p>
<p>Although in the new book by Paul Allen he says explicitly that Gates pushed him out of the company and tried to find ways to dilute his ownership. This is similar to what Zuckerberg did to his first partner. It's awful.</p>

<p>So true, thanks for posting. I want to be clear that I wasn't saying that Apple is a better company because Jobs is better speaker. All I'm saying is Jobs is a great presenter and I wanted to outline reasons why.</p>
<p>Things were certainly different as you point out. Jobs was also fired from his own company at one point. My blog post is more about trying to emulate the characteristics of Jobs and be aware of the shortcomings of Gates.</p>

<p>Good points. You are right. I suppose I am referring to the quality of what the company produce versus head to head comparisons. I think Apple produces products which are esthetically pleasing and work smoothly. Microsoft does not. They are known for producing buggy, ugly and cumbersome products (Windows and Sharepoint are good examples of that). I have no experience with some of the products you mentioned so I can't comment on every product line.</p>

<p>Bill Gates' presentation is to a group of influencers and should have been the best he can do. It shouldn't really matter that one is a product launch. They're both displaying their products to the masses. They should have their 'A' game on.I could have used almost any Gates video and the result would have been the same. His style is consistently poor while Jobs is consistently strong.</p> True.

True. In this case I think Apple has the better speaker, better technology and better products. Just my opinion though.
