It exposed the history and growth of personal computer industry. This movie is between Steve Jobs for Apple and Bill Gates for Microsoft, it illustrates the hardships and milestones of the two prominent companies in order to gain what they have today. The story started with IBM at the early 1980’s. The apple company which is founded by Steve Jobs and his friend ‘Waz’ started doing computers in a garage and reap the idea of graphical user interface from Xerox, a company who developed mouse and standard interface styles that we know today. Xerox let apple look everything they had and naturally, Apple stole everything they could.
