Today saw this movie, Pirates of Silicon Valley, to have a full detail of the movie see here. This movie is about Apple Computers and Microsoft, trying to say how Apple Computers grew as a giant from nothin' actually. Also touches some personal life of Steve Jobs, the founder of Apple Computers. Bill Gates was shown as an excellent business man, who creates everything from nothing, for example, the talks with IBM guys about selling DOS OS when actually they had nothing. And explaining Steve that they were not copying their Mac User Interface and convincing him, to show his OS in Apple's demo. At last when Steve Jobs says Bill is a thief stealing things from MAC user interface, Bill explains by saying, all cars have steating wheels, that does not mean they are copying from others, and he goes to the extent that, if Bill is a thief then Steve is the first theif stealing things from Xerox, which actually found the mouse user interface.
There are also interesting dialogues between Bill and Steve like,
Steve: We're better than you are! We have better stuff.
Bill: You don't get it, Steve. That doesn't matter!
The one another interesting character you would see in the movie is that of Steve Ballmer, the current CEO of Microsoft. Actually, he is my favourite in this movie. This movie also throws some interesting characters of both Steve and Bill like Bill would literally fall asleep at any place and have a very weak memmory.
But the movie is incomplete, it is just an introduction to Steve and Bill or to Apple and Microsoft. Not actually explaining How they are Pirates? But worth a watch.
