On the love of Jobs vs hate of Gates (or Microsoft), I am currently reading Steve Jobs biography, and I found a passage that highlights Apple as hypocrites quite more efficiently than anything I might say :
" The Apple raid on Xerox PARC is sometimes
described as one of the biggest heists in the
chronicles of industry. Jobs occasionally endorsed this
view, with pride. As he once said, “Picasso had a
saying—‘good artists copy, great artists steal’—and
we have always been shameless about stealing great
ideas.” "
