From the beginning of their relationship, Gates was fascinated by Jobs and slightly envious of his mesmerizing effect on people.
從兩人結識起，蓋茨就被喬布斯所吸引，并有些嫉妒他蠱惑人心的能力。
But he also found him "fundamentally odd" and "weirdly flawed as a human being,"

and he was put off by Jobs's rudeness and his tendency to be "either in the mode of saying you were shit or trying to seduce you."
蓋茨反感喬布斯的無禮，以及他的那種傾向--“不是覺得你狗屁不如，就是在試圖引誘慫恿你”。
For his part, Jobs found Gates unnervingly narrow.
而在喬布斯看來，蓋茨太狹隘。
"He'd be a broader guy if he had dropped acid once or gone off to an ashram when he was younger," Jobs once declared.
喬布斯曾說：“如果他年輕的時候嗑過藥或是進行一下禪修，那整個人的心胸就會更為開闊。”
Their differences in personality and character would lead them to opposite sides of what would become the fundamental divide in the digital age.

After thirty years Gates would develop a grudging respect for Jobs.
兩人相識30年后，蓋茨對喬布斯產生了有所保留的敬意。
"He really never knew much about technology, but he had an amazing instinct for what works," he said.
“他真的對技術了解不多，但他有一種驚人的天賦，知道什么東西能成功。”蓋茨說道。
But Jobs never reciprocated by fully appreciating Gates's real strengths.
但反過來，喬布斯從來沒有充分肯定過蓋茨的長處。
"Bill is basically unimaginative and has never invented anything,
“比爾基本上缺乏想象力，也從沒創造過什么東西，
which is why I think he's more comfortable now in philanthropy than technology," Jobs said, unfairly.
這就是為什么我覺得他更適合像現在這樣做慈善，而不是留在技術領域。”喬布斯是這么說的，盡管他的說法并不公允，
"He just shamelessly ripped off other people's ideas."
“他只是無恥盜用別人的想法。”
