    I've watched his speechs since the 90's and to be perfectly honest he always reminds me of a deer walking on ice he can do it but it's not natural and like the deer he's always on his toes. Jobs on the other hand looks like a used car salesman. Slick.

    The comparison between Gates and Jobs I like is this:
    • Bill Gates wants to be rich.
    • Steve Jobs wants to be cool.

      • Both are happy men, and their products reflect their desires. :)

    Used car salesmen peddle products with fewer bugs than Gates does.

    through out his career Gates has always been ill at ease in front of the camera. many people have reported in the early days of microsoft that gates would be so unkempt and dirty that many could not stand the smell of him.

    gates has always been techie while jobs has not. and its true that both are marketing their images.

    He's filthy rich now and should be able to afford a host of professional "bathers".
