[QUOTE="wkmac, post: 1180571, member: 2189"] Not sure this answers your question because it doesn't use the lense of politics but Jobs from my POV built a total computing/program platform whereas Gates just took an existing product IBM wasn't interested in totally exploiting, got the licensing rights from and the rest is history. Even later one could argue Microsoft followed Jobs when it went into it's Windows platform. Not sure where the politics of left and right enters the picture but that's where I see it all. When it comes to computers, I'm not much a fan of either man but rather a fan of open source platforms. Besides, Jobs is now dead and maybe when Gates follows Jobs into oblivion, they'll make a movie about him. [/QUOTE]
