A good, insightful Pulpit article on the differences in personality between Steve Jobs and Bill Gates-- or, perhaps, between Steve Jobs and the Rest of Humanity.
For Jobs, says the article, "winning" does not entail dominating the PC world. It simply means surviving and continuing to forge ahead and break new ground and make millions of fans happy. It's like a rock star's outlook on life: not everybody on the planet likes the Rolling Stones; they only make up a very small percentage of what "music" is. But nobody can ever claim that they aren't a success.
Whereas, by the same metaphor, Microsoft isn't the Beatles or Elton John. Microsoft is Polygram.
