I'm having a big debate with a buddy of mine. He is convinced Steve Jobs' net worth will overtake Bill Gates. I say that is near impossible. My opinions is not to put down the company's obvious innovation and ingenuity.

Currenty: Bill Gates--> 50Billion
Steve Jobs--> 5Billion

His rationale is that Bill Gates net worth would have to plummet and Jobs' would have to sky rocket.

 

i would argue that your argument with your buddy is very silly.

 

No, pop culture and ad campaigns don't matter. Businesses run on Windows and programs are built to run on their OS.

The accounting world lives in Excel and Access. Most of the businessmen I work with carry PDAs other than the iPhone.

There would have to be a fundamental shift in the OS that fortune 500s use. So far I'd say it isn't likely.

 

I agree

engineering programs oft run on windows as well

 

That's what I've been trying to tell him.

 

well, now you can tell your buddy you have the intarwebs on your side.

 

Oh no worries. I will. Obviously, with no help from you!

 

oh i'm on your side, i just think it's silly to argue about something like that.. just doubt you're going to convince your obviously fanboi-ish buddy of anything because of our e-support...

 

Only way it happens is if Bill gives all his money away, which he's working on doing right now.

 

You're right! We go at it about dumb shit all the time.

You missed the EPIC debate we had between who was more worldly known: Bob Marley or Carlos Santana..lol
