Customer Reviews

Well-acted popular history.

Just as with the urban legend, there are legends as to how Microsoft and Apple came to be. 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 too many 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 exasperations of 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.
