After watching this movie, I think most people will remember the words "good artists copy, great artists steal" said by Jobs and Gates successively. In the film, the director regards "stealing" as the commercial art of Jobs and Gates, not to mention how desirable it is. After all, "stealing" is only the beginning of the success of Jobs and Gates, not the whole of success.

- We have something better.
- You don't understand, Steve. It doesn't matter

to me, this conversation between Jobs and Gates shines.

Apple and Microsoft have always been companies with different business ideas. The different ideas come from Jobs and Gates

. Jobs is a crazy person, just like his name "jobs", he is an out-and-out workaholic. In pursuit of product perfection, in order to implement his philosophy, Jobs at work is almost a tyrant. But there is no doubt that Jobs has an amazing sense of innovation and a unique vision. Perfection and innovation are almost synonymous with Apple products.
Unlike Jobs, Gates did not pursue the idea of ​​perfection. Gates had predicted a computer on everyone's desk back when computers were still bulky commercial items. Gates was successful in the business war, playing a small role in front of Jobs, paralyzing Jobs and creating opportunities for himself. He played the image of a traitor, but achieved final success.

"We have something better." Jobs had product success.
"It doesn't matter!" What Gates got was business success.

Today, many years later, the topic of Apple and Microsoft has never stopped.
Today, many years later, Apple is still taking the perfect route, and Microsoft is still taking the market route.
Today, many years later, Apple's pursuit of perfection has won more markets, and Microsoft's pursuit of perfection has gone a step further.

- We have something better. - You don't understand, Steve. It does not matter!

This is a dialogue between two IT giants. There was no final victory or defeat in this sentence in that era. Two different ideas are still fighting in the era.

Pirates of Silicon Valley quotes

  • Ballmer: Bill, I don't know if it's the clothes on the floor or you, but something in here definitely needs to be hosed down.

  • Steve Jobs: What is this? This is like doing business with a praying mantis. You get seduced, and then eaten alive afterwards?

    Bill Gates: Get real, would ya? You and I are both like guys who had this rich neighbor - Xerox - who left the door open all the time. And you go sneakin' in to steal a TV set. Only when you get there, you realize that I got there first. I got the loot, Steve! And you're yellin'? "That's not fair. I wanted to try to steal it first." You're too late.
