Steve Jobs is not a revolutionary. He is very very good at taking existing technology products and using genius marketing to sell a bazillion units. I admire his talent, but its not like the world be that different if people listened to rios' instead of ipods. Microsoft didn't revolutionize anything but illegal monopoly tactics.
I respectfully disagree. Apple and Microsoft took a far different approach to technology and the PC than anyone else ever did. The reason you have a computer is because of these companies now. How is Martin Luther King Jr. not a marketing genius? Do you think he could have made it as far as he did if not for a clear message for people to get behind?
Face it. Technology as we know it today, our world as we know it today for better or worse has been shaped by these two companies.
