“REACTION PAPER”

I.
Bill Gates is a computer programmer and entrepreneur who cofounded Microsoft
Corporation, the world's largest personal-computer software company. Bill Gates and his friend
Paul Allen developed software for the first microcomputers. He was a Harvard student dropout
and became successful with his talent and knowledge when it came to computers. They started
with Microsoft Corporation and he never stopped there. With his brilliant mind and ideas, he
wants to dominate the world when it comes to technology.
On the other hand, Steve Jobs, inventor, designer, and entrepreneur was the cofounder, chief
executive, and chairman of Apple Inc. He is also a drop-out student. His life had no direction
until he met his friend Steve Wozniak who is also a cofounder of Apple Inc. Jobs is an intelligent
and innovative man. When he developed Apple computer, this became a huge success in the
market. As years went by they developed Apple 2 which later on had flaws resulting in recalls of
the products and consumer disappointment. This is where IBM surpassed Apple in sales.
Jobs collaborated with Gates when Apple Computer was launched and became successful. Gates
found an idea that he used to create his software and negotiated with IBM. However, with this
idea, Jobs felt betrayed by Gates by doing so. Of course, as a businessman, Gates knows how to
pay with it. Until Jobs got kicked out as a CEO of his own company. While Gates dominated the
world with his success became a public figure and later on made a bad reputation despite of his
success. He became a target of the U.S. Justice Department antitrust division.
Years later, Jobs gained back his company when it was offered to him again because Apple
Computer became stagnant when it came to innovation where they couldn’t compete with IBM.
As an entrepreneur, he reached out to Gates to help Gates show in public to lessen his bad
reviews, to once again make a partnership and deal with competition.
And to help regain public trust Gates donated and created several foundations to help minority
students who can’t afford to go to school and health programs. In contrast, Jobs developed more
innovations for Apple products such as iPod for music and innovation it with Apple iPhone
which made history. However, despite of success, he became ill and later died. But he was never
forgotten by his fans and supporters. Both Jobs and Gates's works of success became history in
old and new eras.
