Well-acted popular history

Just as with the urban legend there are legends as to how Microsoft and Apple came to being. This story based on a book by Paul Freiberger and Michael Swaine is about the story of two parallel personalities; one wants to make a dent in the universe, the other wants to keep his enemies close.Many realities and key players were glossed over, not to mention the CPM and MPM operating systems. However, if we delve into two may diverse parts of this story we would lose our focus and cohesion.It is fun to watch the parallel growth of Apple's Steve Jobs (Noah Wyle) and Microsoft's Bill Gates (Anthony Michael Hall). Especially the ability to get into their heads and the many exacerbations or the other guy.As a previous owner of an Altair, Commodore, TRS-80, and Apple among others, this movie had a special interest for me.

The Best Jobs Movie

I think this is the best movie about Steve Jobs. I love how Noah Wyle and Anthony Michael Hall captured the characters through their voices. Great!
