Apple VS Windows

            In the personal computer history there were two giants in the business. Steve Jobs was the leader of Apple computers and Bill Gates was the leader of Microsoft. Apple Computers was almost an instant success while Microsoft took a while to come up from the shadows.
             Steve Jobs started Apple Computers from his garage. He wanted to create a computer that was meant to be used by "normal people". Even though every bank he went to turned him down and said his idea was bad and that a computer for "normal people" made no sense. He eventually was able to get an investor and created some of the first personal computers. His computers were eventually seen by the public when he took some of his computers to a computer convention and from there the computers became an instant hit. Jobs became mad with all the wealth and popularity. He wanted everything to be a piece of art. He wanted all his employees to work as hard as they possibly could. Making them work over 90 hours a week and blowing up on the every time one of them wasn't working hard enough or made a mistake. Xerox came out with an idea for a piece of hardware called a "mouse" and a piece of program called a "graphic interface". The ideas were a hit and then became part of the new "Macintosh". After that there was two parts of the company "Apple" and "Macintosh". The two sides were being torn apart by the rivalries in the company arguing about whom or what was better. Jobs eventually hired Bill Gates. He suspected him many times of stealing his ideas but every time he let it slide by. Jobs eventually found out that Gates was stealing his ideas. Jobs eventually was fired from Apple and eventually rehired in 1997.
             Bill Gates started Microsoft after he and a college buddy entered a contest to come up with a program to run on a computer. After that Gates ran Microsoft out of a motel and then eventually from an old building with hardly and money and no investors.
