  • It's funny how he said Windows had no culture, which was true at the time of this interview.

    Now Windows is one of the most known and used operating systems in the world.

  • great video thanks

  • *"for the most part" lol

  • This is the same guy who admits that Apple is 'shameless' about stealing good ideas?

  • I hate him now and he can't even say why he hates them.

  • WP7 and xbox

  • lol ... he did not "steal" the mouse and networking from xerox. Xerox invited him in and told him he could have it all because they didn't know what to do with it. Jobs then hired the Xerox employees who came up with the GUI technology. A year after the launch of the Mac, Micro$oft copied it with a piece of junk called Windows...

  • microsoft helped you

  • @setalaka MS only helped Apple to keep the competition going and soon as the company got back on their feet. The shares were bought back from MS. At least that is what I read.

  • Join our fan page on FB "Microsoft Sucks Why ?"

  • I totally agree with Steve Jobs comments about Microsoft. That said, it's sad to see that two decades latter Apple devolved into the the most successful toy manufacture.

  • what a prick piece of shit cocksucking liar

  • ouch. i guess he's more on the left brain, huh?

  • jobs is infamous for his bad temper

  • Sorry Mr. Jobs, but Mr. Gates will always be the pioneer and an idol for me. I adore this interview anyway, watching when Jobs was still "normal".

  • Mac 1980's - Awesome!!!!

    Mac now- shiny pieces of overpriced shit

  • Microsoft - bad products good business.

    Apple - good products bad business.

    that's how i see it.

  • @chanel6548 microsoft-good products good business

    apple-bad product, bad customer service and bad business

  • @checkerace50 if you really think that xbox is a good product then your fucking stupid, fuck microsoft and fuck you! stupid cunt.

  • @checkerace50 you got those 2 completely backwards

  • i wonder what he thinks about ubuntu.

  • yes, and once you get all programs installed and all the various other necessary acoutrements, it's way more than fucking $500 or $599 or whatever. i know what i'm talking about, ya'll

  • blechtman - Mac's start at $599 if you want one that bad. That's a quarter of what you think they cost.

  • hey steve jobs,remenber:

    microsoft invented windows.

    you make a cell phone with touch screen,and you don't even invented the touch screen.Keep trying,bad looser

  • i'd get a mac...if they weren't like $2500

  • @blechtman Uh there's one for $599 and $999 and if u want sumthin cheaper u can get an iPad for $499 so as much as u dont like Apple dont exaggerate.

  • @blechtman i would only get a mac if it was 200

  • Oh yeah, Steve you had real original ideas- the ones you stole from Xerox. As did Microsoft, but Steve always plays victim. I have no problem with Apple Products(i do use them because of their price however), I do have a problem with Steve Jobs though, he took credit for all of Apple's success (and profited off of it), while Woz actually designed them, built them, and programed them. The one thing I hate most about Apple is that they patent troll.

  • Great stuff from Jobs

  • whats with steve jobs bashing everyone, he bashed adobe flash, google, etc

  • he's so passionate that things might get personal to him.

  • I see windows being installed onto macs day by day these months of 7 being out, its unreal at how many people have also told me 7 eats mac os at the moment,

  • wtflolbbqluvstevehandjobslitte­rboxPARCtheif

  • you stole the idea from xerox and later microsoft stoled it to you

  • well they didnt actually steal it from xeron but they asked xerox for it and xerox stupidly gave it to them. If you watch Triumph of the Nerds that this was taken from they interview a exemployee from xerox and she said that some in xerox didnt want to give it away but were ordered to. But your right that Xerox PARC had the idea.

  • @segapaisa apple gave xerox shares in apple to get access to their graphical userinterface. microsoft didnt pay/trade anything to get it. they stole it.

  • haha, they stole taste and culture from xerox? ya right.

  • Yes, you're right, it's true. If you stole, you'll be stolen...

  • how do you steal something that someone gives you? if you give $1000 dollars, and I invest it and make a million, did I steal a million from you? No. You're just too stupid to know what to invest in.

  • I like how he first thinks and then says...

  • You know what is interesting about this guy, is he is being real cool, even though it is clear he is pissed about Microsoft being such a cheese-ass company, and not being original with sh*t.

    Steve Ballmer would have been screaming at the top of his lungs about this.

  • STEVE WITH HAIR! Awesome. Microsoft suck.

  • @GenuineCoffee you suck

  • Well....my Chevy is much better than your Ford! It's blue and it has.....tires!

  • No, YOU suck. Fucking apple fanboys everywhere! You act like he's fucking god!

  • Who said he's a god? I just think he's a cool guy.

  • wow microsoft helps mac when macs were going to die and go out of business , now macs are asswholes who think there good when they copied windows with mouse and keyboard with similar OS's

  • Proof that Steve Jobs UNDERSTANDS DESIGNERS! I never even thought about the leaps he helped make with typography.

    Man, he was dead on with that.

  • when was this from?

  • Bill Gates won, Steve Jobs lost.

    Intel chips conquered the Mac.

    MS Office is "must have" on a Mac.

    Any serious gamer is on a PC, not a Mac.

  • and by default macs have MICROSOFT internet explorer,so fail to them.

  • dont think of orginal i deas huh? he stole the mouse and networking from xerox

  • @khmerkid xerox sold it. It wasn't stolen.

  • @khmerkid oh ma god! not a mickey!!!

  • @khmerkid he didn't steel the mouse, Apple bought the mouse from Xerox for $1000.

  • @khmerkid what an ignorant idiot, you should go read more.

  • @khmerkid You are right! But having being said that, Make innovations in what you copy, doesn't make him a bad guy, they had the idea, he came up with a better and more productive one....If Xerox could've they would've made it...

    Atleast Steve copied and innovated the idea to be the best one around the globe.

    Bill copies the idea and makes it worse. LOL

  • yup Macs 4 life.

  • Somewhere in the world Bill Gate's ass is bleeding.

  • This is really stupid...Microsoft doesn't care about good looks...they only care about the important stuff.... ** GO PC ** :)

  • This is stupid. Look for a clip called

    good artists copy great ones steal.

    He saying that windows don't make up their own stuff when in the other clip he says that copying/stealing makes a company great.

  • not very articulate is he

  • yeah, only the most articulate businessman in the world today :)

  • in the seance than (5 min pause studder studder studder) i don't debate that he is smart just inarticulate

  • "They earned their success... for the most part. I just can't get over the fact that they make real, third grade products." LOL!!!!

  • ...really third rate products.

  • typo

  • Am I the only one that thinks this is a voice over???

  • lol whats fuuny is that almost all apple computers are in schools

  • Hahahahahahahah.

    Oh wait. That wasn't "fuuny", that was "wrong".

  • yeah really. Last time i saw a mac being used is by some family that didn't even have internet, and before that it was in my school YEARS before.

  • Where do you live? Where I live, the ratio is about 50:50, or a bit more on the mac side

  • I live in a place called reality,earth,irving, tx. Close to dallas. -_-

  • I lol'd

  • was his argument based on how nice fonts look?

  • well said

  • His chiseled face makes him look so manly!

  • "They earned their success... for the most part"

    LOL at the way he says it.

  • I am not about to get in the war between mac and windows because I think they are equal for different things, so let's stop arguing about it. But I don't like Steve Jobs, he has a terrible attitude towards Bill Gates and Microsoft. Many videos I have seen on here he makes comments that he didn't need to make, Bill gates has never offended or tried to offend Steve Jobs. I just don't see any other reason that Steve is so angry with Bill Gates other than he is worth 50x what Steve is worth.

  • Let's try this, I steal the work of your life, become 50x richer than you, then you will be kind to me and really like me, right? Oh no...

  • Well it was steve jobs words quoting picasso when he said "good artists copy, great artists steal". So guess hes calling Bill gates a great artist!

  • Gates's value has really dropped, Bill is now worth 7 or 8 times what Steve is.

  • I thumbed your comment up cause I could not agree more. Steve is always talking that and this to put Microsoft an Bill over the floor and splatter them, why Steve, why? Get over it!

  • soon, i shouldnt have to defrag and restart my windohs pc then. too bad its fried already

  • originality? he still uses the same glasses...

  • douche bag

  • perhaps, but you've gotta admit he is correct.

  • Never heard of anything more smug, wow.

  • When you create an entire industry you have the privilege to say those things, no matter how painful they are for the lesser players.

  • At the end of the day nothing has changed in the past 20 years. MS is still trying to produce their versions of others' original ideas.

  • windows is the only reason apple is able to be considered original.

  • you invented well spaced fonts, wow ! thank you for saving computers from ASCII.

  • apple is the one who creates originalproducts and ppl like micorosoft and others copy.... appple lost market share in mid 80s because of lack of a good os and dey wer alone and microsoft has ibm's backing...bring on microsoft now and see who wins

  • That's not true. Many things in the Unix world have still yet to be taken to either one. In fact Mac OSX was created around Unix in its popularity and innovation.

    Simple common things such as multiple desktops have been around for a long time.

    Microsoft made the office software for the Macintosh.

    You yourself probably use Firefox.

    Apple didn't go down because of their operating system. They had a bad lineup in hardware and they had bad marketing.

    Don't be an ass. Get your facts straight.

  • That's true; Microsoft did have to help make software for the Mac when it first came out.

  • And Microsoft was ecstatic to be one of three companies to have that honor. (PFS & Lotus were the other 2) Steve Jobs put Microsoft on the map by that invitation.

  • Actually Apple did go down because of their software. It was crap, pure and simple. Their operating systems were junk and offered no real competition to Windows untill OSX came out which turned it all around.

  • That is incorrect. OS 7, 8 was quite a bit better than Windows at the time, it's just Windows was "good enough" so people moved up from DOS to Windows 3.1 and didn't feel they could afford the higher quality Mac systems.

    Yes, OSX was even better, but at no point was the Classic MacOS inferior to Windows.

  • no, he is just correct.

  • im with you macindrew. Besides apple always thinks ahead. We just need conversion programs for our games and boom. I just nee partioning and thats it.

  • yeah, it's funny to watch the windows users squirm... they don't realize apple writes all the rules, while they just get to play in our world.

    the whole game thing is because of john sculley in 1986 when people were calling the mac a "toy", so sculley put the brakes on mac game development, now everything has switched and the PC is now the "toy"... kinda funny.

  • lol true.

  • well if they make 3rd rate products WHAT THE FUCK DO U MAKE? 6th rate maybe 10th because they make way better shit than you do. hell id go linux before a mac

  • actually, apple stuff is the top of the market, then windows, then linux... that is IF you value your time and you want the best in your life.

    but yes, linux works if you don't make a lot or don't have high standards.

  • I actually prefer it this way. PC people bashing my choice for being a Mac user because all I have to do is laugh my ass off when every time a new Win OS comes out there is a whole new goody bag of bugs and shoddy development. Vista of course is the biggest waste of peoples money since Windows ME.

    Sure my Mac has crashed but was due to 3Rd party software sending crapped out instructions to the OS X kernel, hence kernel panic. For the most part, its not the hardware or the OS. Windows? Fuck off!

  • Just because Microsoft makes more money does not mean its the better computer, its the business computer..

  • "They (Microsoft) makes really third rate products.."

    That's why Microsoft products continue to dominate just as they always have. What's Apple's marketshare up to?

    7% I think it is now? Good job, go fuck yourself Steve, owned rofl

  • but Apple owns the entire high end of the PC market. Microsoft is nowhere to be found when it comes to quality software.

    please "think" before you post. thanks!

  • Voodoo, Alienware, the entire gaming market? WTF r u smoking fanboy?

  • I'm not talking about the game market, that doesn't mater to anyone but the kids, I'm simply referencing the fact Apple has 66% of the "above $1,000" PC market according to sales statistics.

    And by the way, I'm not a fanboy, just a fact checker.

  • becuase he overprices his shit.

  • not if you like "value"... since if you do, you'll find apple products are technically the cheapest you can buy.

    that's why people who are good with money, always seem to have macs.

  • A Mac Pro, straight from the Apple website configuring page:

    1 2.8GHz Intel Xeon : subtract $500 (original: 2 of them)

    8 GB RAM : add $1500

    1TB Hdd : add $300

    nVidia GeForce 8800: add $150

    30" display : add$1800

    Default optical drive, mouse, keyboard

    None of the optional software

    Total : $6048

    Same fucking hardware (well, almost as low-end) anywhere else.....see next comment.....

  • all that hardwares with tonnes of bootlegs... y'all cheapos...

  • What the fuck does that even mean?

  • ...continued.... Intel Xeon 3.0GHz online : $210 8GB DDR2 RAM: $210 1TB Hdd : $110 nVidia GeForce 9800 : $130 37" HDTV 1080p : $500 DVD writer : $30 Keyboard & Mouse : $20 775 Motherboard : $50 Case/Power Supply : $90 No optional software Total : $1350 $4700 less, for better hardware. Conclusion: Yes, Apple does overprice. Unless of course Mac O$ and the Apple logo have a combined value of $4700....
  • Apple charge over $6000 for 26gb of ram for the MacPro's.

  • Ah, yes. Thank you for clarifying. I understand now.

  • I bet dell would too, if they had a desktop like that. Btw, i am not sure if Windows can handle that much ram. Mac OS definitely can.

  • my PC i use for CAD has 64gb of ram... idk what the hell ur talking about and I'm sure u don't either...

  • First of all, you can run AutoCAD on 512 mb's of RAM just fucking fine. No program today really needs 64 gigs of ram. I don't know of any motherboard that allows that much ram and again, you would never need it. Oh, and i know that you aren't a professional, because you only have 1 favorite. A video of how to get any Adobe serial. You're fucking pathetic.

  • @zak9456

    lol xD owned!

  • Who are you talking about?

  • NICKST3R182

  • Just double checking. LOL. The guy is an idiot.

  • Go to macsales and get it after market. Much, much cheaper.

  • No kidding.

    What's Ferrari's market share? Less than 1%?

    By your logic, this proves they make real crap.

    Pwned! ROFL

  • how many hardware vendors hold windows? hp, compaq, dell, and so on. how many hold OS X? One, Apple. So of course windows will have that crazy share when there are so many to use it. Do the math.

  • Tom Cruise!

    anyways, go Jobs!

  • Ah fuck you You sell junk made in china for way too much money.long after Bill gates is gone people will still be talking about him.

    Apples Rot

  • But history books 150 years from now won't remember Bill Gates, but they certainly will Steve Jobs. Jobs is like Edison or Bell.

    Gates is a William Paley.

    Gates simply didn't contribute anything to society, he is mainly seen as a "thief".

  • I can almost guarantee you that more people will remember Gates. I'm sure a lot of people today don't even know who Jobs is.

    Not that I'm against Apple, but that's the truth.

  • Currently perhaps, but in 150 years, Gates will be the no name since he didn't contribute to the computer industry. Jobs has the first usable "PC", the first "Spreadsheet", the first "Graphical Interface", the "Laser Printer", the "World Wide Web", the "iPod", the "Wireless Revolution", the "Apple TV", "PodCasts" and now the "iPhone" all under his direction.

    What has Gates done that will stand the test of time? I can't think of a single thing, can you?

  • Two things are saving MS. Two reasons why MS has more marketshare than Apple. Windows was able to take control of the PC market because Windows is on every non-mac computer and that Windows 95 came out at the right time (This is also probably why the Ipod is the market leader in mp3 players). Second, MS has a monopoly on office productivity suites. However, if the average Window user would actually use an Apple product for an extended period of time, I'm sure they'd want to switch.

  • I would almost agree with you that MS has a monopoly on office products, but from what I understand, many NYtimes journalists and bloggers are switching to iWork... Pages is a GREAT alternative to MS Word and Keynote in my opinion is WAY better than powerpoint... as for spreadsheets, I don't know.

  • i would agree

  • Same here. iWork rocks.

  • lol i worked with a school for a period of 3 month that uses purely macs and now to say that i dread macs is an understatement.

  • AGREE WITH YOU..

    I just know that Steve Jobs is the co-founder of Apple..hahahahahahaha

  • most people know of gates because he's been the richest man in the world, from america.

  • yes, people will still talk about gates. i mean look at microsoft and how much money they have made... you can tell who makes the better computer.

  • i agree, it's quite clear that apple builds the better product, it's just sad that so many people got swindled by bill gates.

  • "you can tell who makes the better computer"

    Microsoft doesn't make PC's.

  • mac took from xerox and microsoft took from mac...they didnt COPY just got the ideal base (used the other as a inspire base then made there own)

  • youre fucking dumb. apple didnt steal from xerox. xerox gave it to them. microsoft copied all the code for their first windows frm the macintosh and added some more apps to it like m$ paint, a calculator. but those came right from apple. fuck M$.

  • Well, they have no taste, but they bailed us out once because they ripped us once as well. Is a very nice relationship. Jobs rules, but after many years is easy to find contradictions.

  • MS never bailed Apple out of anything, that's one of the last MYTHS of the computer age. MS had NO Choice but to pay Apple for the QuickTime code thefts, Steve had Bill over a barrel and Bill caved in... Now you know the rest of the story.

  • November 27, 2007--> "Google search results delivering massive malware attacks!" They should have said, "Good search results delivering massive Microsoft Windows atacks!" HAHAHAHHA BAHAHAHAHAH BAHAHAHAHAH! I laugh at you! I laugh at all of you!

  • "Lawyers: Vista branding confused even Microsoft." Google it!  I laugh at native XP users! I laugh at your viruses! I laugh at your DLL files! I laugh at your driver seeking, brainwashed, pathetic excuse for a technological existence!

  • I find it funny that he says "Microsoft has no original ideas" and then he says "we have been shameless in stealing our ideas" "good artists steal, great artists copy." Don't get me wrong, I like apple but still

  • The bottom line is that Apple has more taste and goes above and beyond on their designs. There software is more productive. Their architecture is more productive. You look web pages designed with Windows based machines and software versus Apple designed webpages and you will see that the pages are more updated, better designed, cooler looking and more taste. The reason: it's easier to design a cool webpage on a Mac than a Windows machine. Period!

  • I have to agree with you except I wouldn't know which web pages are designed by which. Anyways I wanted to say thanks for putting up a clean comment that didn't have the word 'fanboy' in it. I don't see how I woulda been a fanboy there but it's happened before.

  • Easy, rooshma. Look at my webpage. It's on my profile on YouTube. I didn't even break a sweat. It's simple and too the point, and it's how I wanted it. On a Windows machine, I wouldn't even think of attempting such a complex blog and Photo slideshow. Why is that? Because, I don't know java script, but Mac does it for me. :) I love you Apple! you see the future! Ease of use! You give us the automation of the future where every bum can have a cool blog!

  • well first off this was back in 1997, today microsoft has a lot better "taste" e.g. with zune and xbox 360 and vista. M$ still has their success. I see jealously within steve jobs.

  • The problem isn't that Microsoft has no taste, it's that they CEO doesn't trust his own products. Why else would Bill Gates use Linux on his personal machine and openly talk about it? At least we know Steve Jobs uses iPods and Macs, so we know he has a vested interest beyond selling more products. Not to diss Bill Gates as a person though. He does great philanthropy.

  • THEY JUST HAVE NO TASTE

  • Well, I hate to tell you this ... Halo fans, but Halo was originally commissioned and designed for Macintosh. What happened you ask ...? Microsoft saw it and said "we want it," so they took it from Apple. So, you wouldn't have your precious Halo games if it weren't for Apple ... think about that.

  • Oh yeah... I forgot apple designs games... it wasn't apple, it was bungie... thank bungie

  • Next halo game we shoot apple users. Apple sucks. Oh sorry i forgot apple created Halo, Microsoft just copied it. Yeah right. Dead to the fruit company.

  • LOL

  • All I know is that Windows is like Coke and Mac is like Pepsi. We need another Macintosh Generation! Forget Coke machines! They sell fake Spring water to the masses!

  • and another thing... u both need to look at it from the consumers POV. They both can do the same thing... surf the internet, watch movies, get us porn faster... ect... thats all that matters... not who stole this or that... damn.. get a life

  • On one hand, you are correct but on the other hand, you're wrong. Where I agree with you is that from the consumer's POV, all a person cares about is does the software fulfill their needs. However, where you are wrong is overlooking illegal business activity. Let's say, for example, a company was committing murder like coca cola did to a union leader in mexico. Which you overlook that? Maybe some people would but I would certainly condemn it...

  • Exactly! And, Mac is best for everything - including PORN! At least when someone treads through all the porn sites, they don't get trojan infections out the rear end. Give me a break! Apple rocks! Not that I look at porn. I'm saved though.
