Bill Gates got most of his ideas from IBM and Steve Jobs stole most of his ideas from Jonathan Ive who is the real designer of Apple, he is the one that designed the products we know and love today not Jobs. Both are just showmen, but Steve Jobs is better at showmanship than Gates who's software isn't great. I vote for Steve Jobs.

My vote is only on opinion of the people, if we are talking about their products then I would vote for Gates.

With all these "Battle of" threads, pretty soon we could have a Battle of the Battle of threads thread.


The current Weekly Poll battle is the same general idea.

I would say, that, I favour PC over Mac, because I find Mac, or those that I have used, to be slightly frivolous, frilly, hipster-magnet machines, and PCs seem more practical. But as to the men themselves, I find it harder to differentiate. It used to be said that Jobs was a stingy old Scrooge when it came to charity, casting him as the bad guy compared to Gates, but ever since they revealed posthumously that Jobs secretly gave millions away to good causes, I think people's respect would increase.

Fence sitter.

Bill Gates.

Only reason I can give is that I don't really like MAC and I love PC.

I never heard it in relation with charity. I did hear however that he was not the most pleasant guy to work with. Bill Gates always seems nice on the fotos and such. I know it sounds a bit oafish, but based on that I would rather vote for Bill Gates (I'm sure his marketing team would be glad to hear that).

He was criticized heavily when he was still alive. And yes, I've heard he was a nightmare boss.

I find Morgan Freeman to be more recognizable so that's who I'm going with.

Morgan Freeman, just like what Sal said, he's more recognizable. Plus I've never heard Don so ya.

Modern movie trailers would suck if Don hadn't intervened, so I'm voting for him. I've watched old movie trailers, and they don't make me want to watch the movies they're advertising.

Morgan Freeman. Everyone loves Morgan Freeman. Morgan Freeman can do anything with his voice.

Don. You've likely never heard of him, but it's almost a sure guarantee you have heard a trailer of his. He's so commonplace that he's unrecognizable. Basically the voice of a typical trailer, which all later voice actors have used as a model. Pioneer and revolutionary on the making of trailers and narration.

In a world, where there was no Don LaFontaine.....

I can almost guarantee that you have. But if not, that's what YouTube's for:

Trailers
Geico
Short Documentary

Don!

I'll need more than that to count a vote.

I have no idea who the other guy is, so, Morgan Freeman.

That's what the link was for.

I feel like dons time has passed

Well, he kind of died over 5 years ago.
