Steve Jobs on Microsoft & Bill Gates
Jobs repeatedly framed Microsoft’s success as a matter of opportunity and execution, but not of taste. He said their products were “third-rate,” lacked spirit and culture, and that better design comes from broader influences beyond software. At the same time, he could acknowledge their success and even joke about Apple software being welcomed on Windows.
“The only problem with Microsoft is they just have no taste.”
“They have absolutely no taste.”
“It's like giving a glass of ice water to somebody in hell.”
