Bill Gates and Steve Jobs are the figures behind two big companies, Apple and Microsoft. Relations between couples up and down, sometimes friends, sometimes opponents.

Gates and Jobs like this, Microsoft is currently making software for Apple II PC. At that time Gates regularly came to Cupertino to see the project worked on by Apple.

But this relationship then deteriorated, beginning in the early 1980s. When Jobs flew to Washington to invite Gates - in this case Microsoft - working on software for the graphical user interface (GUI -), which was then very revolutionary.

But Gates can not, because it he calls a limited platform, or maybe he does not like the attitude of a meeting by Jobs. Jobs as if to say that they do not need Gates, and everything can be resolved.

"He (Jobs) is in a sales mode, but with a standing style saying, 'I do not need you, but I can allow to participate,'" Gates said.

The peak when Microsoft released the first Windows in 1985, which uses a graphical interface. Jobs considered Gates to steal his idea by using the interface.

Angry Jobs accused Microsoft of mimicking the Macintosh. But Gates did not bother. He was convinced that the idea of ​​the interface would be great, and did not feel that Apple had an exclusive right to the idea.

Moreover, Gates knew that the idea of ​​Apple's graphical interface display was inspired by Xerox, developed by the Palo Alto Research Center, an institution that equally puja them.

"I think it's like we both have the same rich neighbors Xerox and I broke into steal television but you've stolen it first," said Gates replied to the terms of the Jobs.

But Jobs seems to have been too upset with the behavior of Gates. To the extent that he calls Gates a shameless person.
