You have all probably heard about Microsoft and Apple, two of the most important computer companies nowadays. However, the relationship between these two companies is much more interesting than the one among the rest of the companies. They have such rivalry that they're constantly competing and comparing each other's products, always portraying theirs are better than their competitor's.
Now, click on these link and you'll watch a couple of TV commercials in which both companies are clearly referring to each other.
Could you see their rivalry? It's very obvious! However, it doesn't have to do just with a technological competition. The reason for this rivalry is simpler than it seems: it's about two men who never understood each other. Bill Gates (founder of Microsoft) and Steve Jobs (president of Apple) were two of the biggest computer talents in history. However, there is a dark history behind them, since Jobs accused Gates of stealing Apple ideas to create his revolutionary operative system: Windows. Gates, on the other hand, denies all this, and speaks of an agreement with Apple for taking advantage of its technology. Whatever the case is, there is no doubt these two men changed the history of technology.
