I’m a few chapters into the biog myself, so I guess I’ll see if I’m right or not. Either way, I’m more of a Woz fan. Always have been. I’m much more drawn to someone who’s into pure R&D and furthering their/collective knowledge than to someone who wants to make top dollar on the products churned out by said R&D. I can’t deny how much Jobs brought to Apple when he returned as CEO, but it’s hard to be his cheerleader.

Just noticed that Gates has weighed in a bit on the Isaacson book: http://abcnews.go.com/story?id=14845131

But I think that you’re right; while Jobs may be an Edison, Gates is a Carnegie … whether he made his fortune in technology or steel is ancillary.
