Heh, Gates might be a weakling, but he is not little. Few people know this, but Bill is 6 feet 6 inches tall!

No, that was just the Bill Gates Demo.

Bill Gates 1.0 is only 4' 6"! :D

(Just to prove my nerdiness) I cryed when they showed the launch of the Mac in 1984! Whatever about Macworld keynotes, that was something else..

20th aniversary of that's coming up. Maybe we'll get some flashbacks?

Maybe we'll get an announcement of equal impact to 1984? :)

IMO, the only announcement since which has come close was the iMac. It'd be wonderful to think (though hard to believe) there's something like that waiting in the wings.

Still, I'd be surprised if Steve didn't make some reference to it, or take a look back at the last 20 years.
 
Typical , but not surprising, Alvin (the presenter) is just as misled as the general public. And the general public still thinks size matters, money matters. Hence Bill Gates won.
it does to a certain degree, but power to me is if you are able to make a difference, make a change happen, that is something Steve Jobs is much better at.
And therefore he is more powerful, he MAKES a difference HAPPEN.
Bill just copies..

Oh online voters score stands at:

22% Bill Gates
78% Steve Jobs

Mac users unite!!! ha ha ha
 
if it puts gates in flattering light, he's bankrolling the show.
He's nothing more than a black hole in the industry.
 
GO STEVE!!!
he's up to 80% right now...
and more widespread != bigger impact/more powerful.
i am unhappy that the host dude decided that gates was more powerful...
what, did he base his conclusion on faulty opinions and data?
/me shrugs.
Life sucks for Mac users nowadays...
btw daniekuk thanks for seeding :)
i d/l'd it and finished watching it a few minutes ago
 
I like SiliconAddicts "smackdown" idea... Jobs would mop the floor with Gates. Now THAT would be worth pay-per-view...:D
 
I must humbly mention that I think such links are better left off of such a reputable *cough* forum...;)
