I do recall that name and it could have been the same movie, but "Pirates" concentrated mostly on Jobs and Gates. I wouldn't say Gates was evil OR a genius. He was in the right place at the right time and he's very crafty. He had the people who knew what to do with windows, whereas Jobs didn't. But I think the REAL losers in all this was IBM. They basically
handed over a multi-billion dollar making opportunity because they were convinced people wouldn't want a PC in their home. Jobs knew it. Gates knew it too. They were visionaries. It reminds me of when television was first invented, (not that I was THERE or anything....lol). Oh yeah guys, it'll
never catch on.
