    I think Jobs copied the window and mouse from Xerox (not sure, but he didn’t invent it) and made it work so well on the Mac that Microsoft copied it. A lawsuit followed, which Microsoft won, and so inventiveness was coupled with low cost. But it was Jobs who really led the way.

    That last line was nasty, since Apple never copied Microsoft, but the other way around.

    The early Macs opened the way to a revolution in graphics and publishing. Jobs was also an innovator in how to price things and how to redefine customer relationships.

    If Jobs tried to ‘top’ Gates with philanthropy that would indeed be excellent.
