Bill Gates calls Steve Jobs a 'wizard' who saved Apple
Steve Jobs was a wizard who "cast spells on people" to help keep Apple afloat during the company's darkest days, according to longtime rival Bill Gates.
The Microsoft (MSFT) founder discussed his and Jobs' leadership styles with CNN's Fareed Zakaria Sunday. Both men are known for being tough leaders who foster an intense workplace culture.
Gates said people often emulate the negative elements of the Apple (AAPL) founder's personality, but Jobs was also a unique leader who took Apple from near-death to its pedestal as the most valuable company in the world (before Microsoft usurped that crown this year). Apple was on the verge of bankruptcy when Jobs rejoined the company in the late 1990s; it is now worth just shy of $1 trillion.

Steve Jobs Wizard. Bill as Blizzard. Zuccberg Lizzard. Alright guys almost 1k likes .Happy quarantine!
Lizard is Kadal in Indonesia 🤣🤣🤣
😭😭😭
Lol probably stolen
Zuccberg the lizzard wizard
Lmp
Look at how excited he gets when talking about his old friend/rival. Even called him an asshole, lol. May you rest in peace, Steve. You truly renovated the world in magnificent ways.
Steve was also an Asshole.
@Kartik Venugopal True
@Kartik Venugopal I disagree on that last part. He built something great, but it was time to move on. He has accomplished even greater things since resigning as CEO of Microsoft. Look at all of his incredible progress in Africa. He even ended Polio in India completely. The man is incredible.
@Kartik Venugopal that, would had been a BAD idea. any company needs a new vision from to tome. look how Satya has a completely different vision than Ballmer. i'm not a fanboy og apple and they don't get a new ceo with a different vision than cook or they will bcome irrelevant in a few years. it is a much harder for apple has their products are focus on consumer mostly and changing direction will be very tough.
@Kartik Venugopal it is almost eradicated and Gates played a huge role in it. I say his greatest achievement is his philanthropy works. Massive respect for him
He lights up when he talks about Steve. That's cool!

Started at Microsoft? You mean started Microsoft.....
Lol 😝
Actually, it was Paul Allen's idea to start a company to write programs for Intel processors and it was he who urged Bill to leave Harvard.
@@SK-ck9qu So? Bill started Microsoft. Doesn't change that
@@vampirethespiderbatgod9740 Actually Paul started Microsoft and took on Bill as a partner but Bill was able to negotiate a 60% ownership of the company. Later Paul was diagnosed with Hodgkins disease. So he stepped away from the company and Bill assumed the reigns of the company.
@@vampirethespiderbatgod9740 That is not true. Paul started the company. Bill was still in student at that time. Paul wanted Bill to join. Later Paul was diagnosed with something serious. So, he stepped away and Bill became the public face of the company.
It's interesting to watch how Mr. Gates became quite emotional when was asked about Jobs. I think in reality they were friends.
They made amends and became good friends with steve before his passing. But they was no animosity among them even before (despite what the media made us believe). They were just two rival young geeks at that time.
Gates the killer . Prison !
More like he got excited talking about casting spells and being a minor wizard
@@premirralucie5856 😂😂😂😂lol
A warm competitive friendship
that's what competition is about :) of course you should fight your competitors, but it's important to give respect when it's due :) especially to Steve Jobs, who changed our lifes forever
@Kartik Venugopal yeah that's true...with Steve Jobs, Apple died too :/
@@danii5630 💯 True !!
Kartik Venugopal Bullshit. Apple Stocks High on the day of Steves Death, Oct 05, 2011: 54.26 Apple Stocks High on Jul 08, 2019: 201.40 Apple Stocks go down every year in the fall when some media outlets come together to sing the ballad of Apple‘s doom. It might (not) be a coincidence, but at the same time hedge funds invest in Apple Stocks that are on sale.
: )
:^D
Those "Spells" Bill speaks of were Steve's reality distortion field. Due to his Charisma, he was able to get people highly motivated and make them achieve great things by making them believe they could do the impossible. And guess what? It worked. Truly a great genius. RIP Steve.
@Invesigator 2 Sorry to inform you Snowflake but not everyone in the real world is kind. Sometimes you have to be harsh in order to push people to their potential. Also his ability to not write code is irrelevant, he was a CEO not a programmer.
@Invesigator 2 1. That's completely irrelevant. 2. How do you know that?
Invesigator 2 Steve Jobs is a genius marketer. He’s not supposed to write computer codes.
It was not Steve's job to write codes. He is apple's CEO. he is the big picture guy. Him being an asshole is irrelevant to the argument (a lot of genius are)
That reality distortion field also motivated Apple to backdate the value of stock options for Steve Jobs. It was so strong he forgot who authorized it (HIMSELF) and blamed the lawfirm of Apple for allowing it to happen. Female lawyer took the fall, Tim Cook got promoted. Steve kept backdated stocks.
NeXT was way ahead of it's time. It was only a commercial failure. It still lives on in the Mac OS.
Bank Frisky I haven’t really invested myself into what the next did. What more precisely did they do that was ahead of their time?
I think he was mostly talking about the hardware when he called it a failure. If Apple hadn’t bought NeXT it would have gone bankrupt and Steve would be would have had a comfortable early retirement.
Yeah, I was just hopping in here to defend NeXT. Glad to see others beat me to it!
@@philiplauren7024 The NeXT workstation was a great machine for rapid design and prototyping. It combined robust Xerox Unix networking, object oriented programming, and a graphical interface nicely. These were all ideas from Xerox PARC. Steve was instrumental in browbeating capable engineers to turn this into a product. In typical Steve fashion he took all of the credit, screwed the people who did the actual work, and ran costs to an astronomically high level. The NeXT was $10,000 in the 80's. In the end the toxic culture he had created at Apple needed it's iconic con man back. So they bought NeXT from Steve and welcomed him back. While steve was gone people began to realize that Apple was overpriced stylized vaporware. Upon his return he was able to con them back into paying $3000 for a $1000 PC again. He then added a touch screen to the Blackberry with some new software and sold it as the Iphone after copying the MP3 player from creative labs and calling it the Ipod. So yeah, he was a rich douchebag. But gay people thought he looked good in a turtleneck and jeans.
MGTOW For Life Exept that The new “iPod” actually could hold up to (I think/(/or) believe) a thousand (1000) songs in you pocket. And not only 30 songs, or, yes, well, you know, something like that. The iPhone 📱 📲 was something much more than just “A BlackBerry with A Touchscreen” you moron.😂
Love his smile when the name of Steve is mentioned =D
Demoniac smile of a killer
Did any of you notice that for most of the interview, Gates was his usual calm controlled self. Then...Steve Jobs was mentioned (predictably), which caused Gates to become much more animated! Shifting in his chair and waving his arms around. Jobs still has and affect on Gates!
I know right!
Andy Brown that’s hog trigger words lmao
They became friends before steve died. So i guess the mere mention of steve brought back the fond memories he had with him before his passing. Both of them are truly remarkable people.
I enjoyed watching Jobs’s intelligence, creativity and enthusiasm for rational values.
CNN to bill: When you started at Microsoft you were so young. He started the Microsoft. What are you talking about.
he founded Microsoft > started at Microsoft as Microsoft founder...nothing wrong said there..even if you're founder, CEO u're still working AT in this case Microsoft
what a great passion he injects in to his speech when talking about Steve Jobs. Each of them MAJOR wizards, none minor.
kzhead.infoLI8emq1xWQE?feature=share
He becomes more and more honest with time. Few years ago he would have never said that Apple has amazing products... Great watching him.
Well, I think he reached a different phase of his life. He used to be the CEO of Microsoft and think in terms of competition and corporate interests. When he left the company, he took an end to a very important part of his life so it takes time to completly release. Now he's very dedicated to his philanthropic work. He's still following what's happening in the tech industry because that's the passion of his life, but Microsoft is his previous life and he's now thinking in terms of what he can do with his money applying his business experience to fix specific societal problems. He doesn't think in terms of corporate interests anymore, he can say nice things about the competition, he doesn't care. He's actually very down to earth and he is thinking more freely.
Apple was never an amazing product. Its a simple product that helps people that are not tech savvy to get into tech more easily. Hence the popularity of the product.
@@sc9433 The Ipod was an amazing product, I remember buying the first Ipod Nano generation and it was miles better than any other mp3 player I have ever listened. The first generations of Iphones were also fantastic, but nowadays the competition have reached the same stardards for a lower price.
@@sc9433 apple still the best, except for maybe things like gaming rigs & ms best biz software or widely used. Why all & laptops just slightly different to apple? Market leader.
Adrian Stan Actually Gates did admit Apple made an amazing product when the first iPhone came out. Back in 1984 Gates also admitted that the first Macintosh was a revolutionary product in personal computer industry.
During that time Bill refused to admit Apple was in the darkest day. Bill just wanted to be humble.

Microsoft's growth in the 90's was something very special, incredible really. but somehow it's the story of the man who founded a company in his garage, ousted in a power struggle and came back and saved it that took the cake.
Bill woke up when Steve was mentioned, and then interview went happily ever after.
How can we see the full interview?
I wanna know, too
They tend to replay it on CNN throughout the week. It's actually more than just this interview. It was a whole discussion with various people about leadership. Fareed does great stuff
With our eyes.
Bill Gates is a demon-filled Nazi pushing Luminati needles that kill.
I look at Bill Gates. And I think there is more to crazy success than just hard work and ideas. He is different. His brain is wired differently. The way he sits, talks, almost everything. He looks like us but he isn’t exactly “average”.
Especially his hands when talking😃
I have SO much more respect for Bill Gates now than I did years ago. To see his dedication to the world today and his candid approach to the past is amazing. Takes a big man to pay respect to Steve like that, especially because Bill saw right through him.
To question bill gates intentions as a provider to charities. He just slandered a basically good man, who is in the grave. That's despicable. Genuinely.
That's not true. This interview is causing m
I mean he created Microsoft, how can't you have respect for him lol. Too much bs cancel culture over the internet
Amazing products when Steve was alive. After Steve passed... no amazing products.
Yeah because they all turned to shit the second he died. Idiotic dude.
@@latenightlogic Tell that to the Apple M1 chip.
@@barbiquearea Facts
you dont know someone called Tim Cook then
Whoever wrote the captions is definitely having a stroke
lol
The $150 million microsoft gave apple during the 90s sure helped..
A lot of people don't know that especially those who watched the movie. I wish they told that part of the story. If it wasn't for gates, jobs might not have been able to revive Apple.
@@FMD023 Exactly, when Jobs returned to Apple the company was on the verge of bankruptcy thankfully it was also during the time when Microsoft was investigated for monopolistic practices which therefore led to them investing into Apple and signing a co-usage patent agreement... without everything that happened and finally Microsoft investing into Apple it was very unlikely that Apple would have gone bankrupt.
Why is this myth retold over and over. It wasn’t the money which helped Apple back in 1997 but the agreement made with Microsoft to drop the lawsuits and continue developing Software for the Mac. Apple was in dire situation at the time but the $100M wouldn’t have made much of a difference if Microsoft effectively stopped publishing Excel on their desktops.
@@fxmtoeclipse It is not a myth, it actually happened and I would suggest go into actual legal documents and look it up. Or watch interviews of Jobs explaining how Apple had only weeks of finances left to stay in business, in 1997. Of course, it was a beneficial deal for most parties, not because of the dropped lawsuits but mainly because the US government was about to break up Microsoft into multiple companies due to their monopolistic position in the market and anti-competitive practices. Apple got some cash, plus at least 5 years of MS Office support of Mac OS (which they needed since majority of PC were sold to business customers and there was, and arguably still isn't, any serious competition to MS Office). Microsoft gained a healthy competitor that had been sinking for years, during the years when Jobs was absent, and Apple made Internet Explorer the default browser on Mac OS, which was exactly what MS needed to fully take over Netscape. The lawsuits from Apple, against MS, at the time, were minor annoyances to a market leader controlling back then controlling over 80% of desktop OS market share, majority of internet browsers, and being the sole player in productivity enterprise software. After all this, in my opinion, the lawsuits were silly either way since the first graphical user interface was developed by Xerox, which then was used for "inspiration" by both companies... look up documentaries on this, fascinating history. But all that, and how much of one or the other platform was truly original is debatable... MS has always insisted on using their own coding languages, their own fork of Javascript in IE etc. etc. etc. and this deal also helped both companies to come together and share some of each other's patents, and did I forget to mention how they agreed to collectively contribute to Java... anyway, there's a lot in this deal, but mainly the facts are that Apple was on the brink of bankruptcy in 1997 confirmed by Jobs, MS needed to prove that there is any competition for them which seemed harder and harder to prove without a healthy competitor, and they both excelled in complementary areas that helped to bring more choice and innovation to the market.
apple helped Microsoft and Microsoft helped apple its all just business; steve jobs asked for 150M and got it lol to him money was just a virtual thing needed to get what he wanted done and bill gates sure sees it that way too they are both great and needed each other at the perfect moment to keep their identities. but yea... it sure helped...
Steve jobs casted spells. I had seen Elon musk tweet about it.
Benjamin Ronns these people are smart enough and rich enough to know not to just toss words around like that lightly.
That’s a good observation about Steve Jobs by Gates.
Bill would be remembered as wizard too
It’s Mirco when it’s Soft :)
I think bill and Steve are like brothers they together changed a lot for the computing world.
Yeah true never ever found this people again
That came straight from the heart...and my wild guess is that not many live there... they say only a jeweller can appreciate the value of a jewel, the rest just go along and do what everyone else is doing.
Respect: Bill Expect: Steve Inspect: me
Is this the full interview?
some people will think hes speaking figuratively lol
Yoy cas see the friendship and respect that bill have for steve . it's moving i hop you learn to appreciate one another . Rest In Peace steve we all miss you .
Both very commendable #ThinkDifferently 👇🏽🔥🔥👉🏽💭
This tech bromance is so legendary ❤️
Thankyou❤

Yeah the interviewer is litterly trying to trigger him 😂
Lol apple hit 2 trillion
Where’s the full interview?
Gates and Jobs brought out the best out of each other. Some people thrive when they have a rival.
That Wizard analogy was deep I felt that
0:11 I sit like Bill gates. I don't have enough strength to sit properly.
Great questions
Steve was a super concentrated and focused man. It goes a long way in business. There was no magic pill.
they are competitive to each other...
Bill becomes so Bill talking about how Steve cast his spell on nonsense products. You don't usually hear Bill saying that's nonsense on a day to day basis
Good stuff, nice interview, except, Next Step wasn't nonsense! The software and UI innovation it had was incredible for the late 80's/early 90's. In fact, many of the core ideas of the Next Os were adopted to create Mac Os X, which is now a very successful Os, used by 15% of the people using a computer on the planet (over 22% in the form of iOs), and is considered one of the most advanced and stable Os's in existence.

Put captions cc1 on its so correct
nice video
Everyone of us needs a counterpart. That brings out the best talent and creativity in us. Because we always want to win. So human. Both of them great their own way.
Haha, “Don’t do this at home”
Well it’s been 8 years since Steve Jobs died
Oh, that is long But It just looks 2yrs
And the last great Apple product is the iPhone. Nothing compared since then. So sad...
STEVE JOBS LEADERSHIP: please do not try at home , Bill just said that 😂
good interview …….
Was there a BEEP in this interview.. LOL
JObs certainly was a wizard. He waved his magic wand and made Xerox Parc's inventions his own!
The personality trait that Bill has is Dominance. That’s key when it comes to owning a project, process, or company.
Someone explain to me what he means by Steve was a master of casting out spells,..?
Firs time I see Bill so candid
Steve was also extremely intelligent and intuitive.Obviously he was obsessed with Zen meditation daily He definitely had a feel for the future lol
Nirvana One I don’t think he was extremely intelligent. To me he was just very creative and optimistic about his products.
There was nothing Zen with Steve. He tried to become a Buddhist monk but was rejected. The head of the temple knew Steve's hippy lifestyle is not Zen.
@@a.h.543 He was a creative liar. He lied to Woz about the money they earned from Atari. He lied to his girlfriend about being the dad of their daughter. But the biggest lie is that Apple products make life better. Apple products made social interaction obsolete. People no longer talk to each other at parties. They all stare at their iPhones or iPads.
Everybody lights up when they talk about Steve Jobs whether it's good or bad LOL he was definitely unique.
No, not everybody does that.
Bill's drive back in those days is something people need more of today. Of course, people don't want to work over 12 hours a day - but they knew what it took to get the job done and they did it! I love watching Bill Gates talk with his hands - he is definitely weaving more magic and is more of a wizard then he thinks as well!!
Once i see Bill Gates in the thumbnail......i get chills all over Click
SO!
The captions/subtitles are just random letters!!! It is not readable at all. Please fix.
Great idea Bill. Let's cast some spells.
Joe Rogan should really bring in this Steve Jobs guy in for an interview. hehe
Bill actually said “ass hole?” Fuck I love him
That books 😂.
Don't do it at home. Or shall I say, don't do it, Holmes.
Is that called "Frenemy" ?
What I learn from these video ? Steve have a hardcore superpower which is very hard to gain" MESMERIZE"
whats amazing about their friendship and rivalry at the same time was, bill gates gave Steve huge amounts of money to bring his company back, because bill gates knew exactly he will get further with a great rival, he saw that one in Steve Jobs who then made apple great! but bill gates in fact a big part of that, a financial part. what a great human. 2 geniuses for sure. and very respectful, he would not have given him money otherwise

Rules have exceptions Exceptions are not rules
It was all going pretty well, until Tim Cook and Steve Ballmer took over. That's when the real demolition of rethinking innovation began.
@PiCABLESKY true but perhaps random people outside Apple looked at Steve as some icon with passion about his work, dedication, methods, God knows what..and are more keen towards Steve who in the first place founded Apple rather Tim and new crew. Aside to that story, business wise as long as numbers are good its all good.
Supposed back in the garden
He said he a very singular taste payback for when Steve Jobs said Microsoft doesn't have good taste 😁😁😁
He got exited about his old friend
I guess bill won't approve gold toilets.

Only a true wizard could have created the 'Reality Distortion Field'.
Bill said he wants to put a computer on every desktop. Jobs actually put computers in everyone's pockets
