The difference between Jobs and Gates is that Jobs managed to get people to drink the Kool-aid.
I don't think there is really a rivalry here anymore. Microsoft has the 360 and Apple is going more mobile type stuff. Apples real natural rival is Google.

I would agree that Jobs has a lot more fanboys than Gates but Microsoft had 60% more net sales, 45% more assets, and most importantly 2.5 times the profit of Apple. Those numbers were filed before the iPad and Windows 7 but I'll bet MS gets the better end of that comparison as well. Somebody must be drinking Gates' Kool-aid because they are selling the shit out of it.

Selling? Yes. Generating a "fan base"? Seems to be the exact opposite.

I'll take less fanbois and 2.5 times the earnings please.
In fact, make mine a double.

Like I said Jobs has a lot more fanboys which has certainly helped Apple trounce Microsoft anytime they have gone head to head on the consumer electronics side. That has yet to translate in to a meaningful erosion of Microsoft's dominance in the Personal Computer market though.

Apple doesnt want Microsoft's PC marketshare.

I kinda gotta dissagree with you on this one. Microsoft has been going after Apples big toys alot over the last 5 years, although they really havnt done as well as they had hoped they have still been trying. For example, Ipod vs Zune, Iphone vs WinMo 7, Ipad vs (future)Win7 Tablets. Google is a much more aggressive rival that microsoft is though with and has made much more headway, especially with android phones and the upcoming android tablets. Even the Android marketplace is just as useful as the Apple app store, even though android doesnt have nearly as many applications, how many of the apple apps are really worth the download? Same with android.

Apple doesn't want all of it but they definitely want more of it. Apple didn't produce the long running and expensive "Get a Mac" advertising campaign to stay stagnant or decrease their market share.:shrug:

Just looked it up. Marathon 1 was a mac game, Marathon 2 was a Mac and PC game. Marathon 3 was a Mac and PC game with more content available for the PC. At the same time bungie also release the trilogy pack with all three games for the PC
