Well acted popular history - By: B. Chandler, 19 Dec 2005
Just as with the urban legend there are legends as how Microsoft & Apple came to being. This story based on a book by Paul Freiberger & Michael Swaine, is about the story of two paralllel personalities; one wants to make a dent I the universe, the other wants to keep his enemies close.

Many realities & key players were glossed over not to mention the CPM operating system. However if we delve into two may diverse parts of this story we would loose our focus & cohesion.

It is fun to watch the paralllel growth of Apple's Steve Jobs (Noah Wyle) & Microsoft's Bill Gates (Anthony Michael Halll). Especiallly the ability to get into their heads & the many exacerbations or the other guy.

As a previous owner of an Altair, Commodore, TRS-80, & Apple among others this movie had a special interest for me.
