We may know or not know about Steve Jobs’ resignation of his CEO position to chairman at Apple Inc. I personally disliked him. I found that it wasn’t Apple what discomforted me but the CEO of it; Jobs. Apple would have been a great company under a better CEO but over the years, it has not being progressive in the ways that the PC industry was intended to develop (functionality). Jobs has been compared to Bill Gates in form of a fan base. There is no real fan base for Microsoft’s products.

Jobs’ fans are real serious when it comes to Apple’s products. They think that is is “revolutionary” and other adjectives that Jobs calls his products. He is seen differently to many and here is my view on Jobs: “Jobs is a brilliant man when it comes to coming up with ideas for the re-inventing of existing products and making them far better. He is sharp at hyping up his products. He fails where Gates succeeds.” Unfortunately it cannot be seen. It is the humbleness of his presentation to both of the Microsoft users and Apple fanboys. Microsoft users cannot be fanboys because of the inevitable use of their systems and Apple has fanboys because they choose to use Apple and those who are fanatic about it (most of them, of course), are fanboys. So Jobs presentation is different, offensive, and hypocritical. There is more I can add but I want to explain this. He is offensive not just on the commercials of Apple Inc., but in those pointless presentations of his new products. Microsoft is his direct competitor in the industry of course, but there is no need for all that trash-talk towards it. He provokes his fans to hate Microsoft and love him. Just look at the his portraits, dammit! He claims that Apple Inc. is about thinking differently but it is just a lie. There is no great number of variations of his products. He does not contribute his wealthbrilliant or basic code from his products to others. He seems more conservative and stingy than most people I dislike.

Now many of you may not know that Gates is not the CEO of Microsoft unless you are really interested in Microsoft like developers are (not that I am one). I won’t be surprised if you didn’t because regardless of what you use, your not a Microsoft fanboy (remember my previous statement). Gates does not want attention. He does things under the radar and every time he does something good, it would be reported by the recipients of his donations. Now the Microsoft Corporation after 2006 (Gates resigned his CEO position), has done several supportive contributions that they don’t brag about. The day that Apple contributes something more than their essentials (apple talk protocol), they would brag about it. Microsoft likes to contribute to Linux, a lot. Who is telling everyone this? The Linux community, not Microsoft. Microsoft is, by far, the most humbling and commutative corporation in the industry.

Now more about Gates. Many may think he was worry-free about his competition but he always did his best. He never reminded anyone in the Microsoft world or Apple world about bailing out Apple from going to bankruptcy. Yes it’s true. I should just stop here.

So why all the hate for Microsoft from the long-time Apple supporters? Because Windows did suck before. Just like Linux sucked until 2008, but the obvious truth is that things get better. Windows 7, just the beta version of 7, was considered gold already. I don’t want to brake Apple’s balls any further by mentioning their latest OS today (Lion). Well, I have ran out of time so I’ll just leave this as it is. It is up to you to support whatever you want. Microsoft has a tremendous share in the market but that doesn’t stop me worrying about my children’s way of thinking what is better by false presentations.
