    A great movie depicting the lives of Bill Gates and Steve Jobs as they form Microsoft and Apple... Which brand do you prefer?

    Great music. Great story. Great acting. Noah Wyle brings the guts required to do Steve Jobs and Anthony Michael Hall comes ready from his roles as a geek to play Emperor Nerd. And with CCR, Police and Iron Butterfly in their soundtrack, who can complain?

    One flaw in they fail to bring up Commodore and Atari.

    Parts okay, parts Pretty good, a little weird but a pretty interesting story....loved the music. Did not know that Bill Gates and Steve Jobs got to the top by scheming and cheating....not too surprised.

    Bill Gates is not that smart with computers, but he is so crafty and capable. He's like a merchant, while Steve and Stephen are better then him with computers. Steve is like a mix of Stephen and Bill. His private problems destroy him. Besides, Bill isn't the only one who steal or...( read more) buy other ideas and products. Steve stole from Xerox company, he even quoted Picasso- Bad artist copy. Good artist steal.
    Actors are great, and I really like this movie

    This was nice movie which showed how much brain and talented way of business speech did bill gates had and how much cunning heart and a loser was the apple owner had... The way they showed was this a small line which makes me to mark here by myself... bill gates an example for ho...( read more)w to be a business man and apple computers is an example for how to not to become an business man... This movie was shocking at several places thinking of bill gates how he dared to come to top first place because he was not in the right way but he didn't do any bad thing he just moved every move with the talented and wolf minded way which was made to think how he got into top position...That was cool... but it was not a story it was a real incident happened back in 80's... This was the story to reveal the truth of Microsoft, apple and IBM...
