I think these sort of programmes are a real waste of time, and don't actually teach us anything new. An obvious way to sort out who was more 'powerful' (however you define that) between Gates and Jobs would just to do a quick poll on who had heard of Gates, and who had heard of Jobs. Gates would be a clear winner, it would take 5 minutes and then we could get on with the rest of our lives. However, the whole exercise is fatuous in the extreme.
You are right there. I just felt that I need to watch the show just to see what the BBC put together. It just seems that TV still never get the point across about computers in general etc.
Anyway, Gates gets away with everything as usual with his best friend Mr George Bush....
