That's just sad, and something that inspires an all too common megalomania among wanna-be CEOs who think that, if they have the same ego as Steve Jobs, that their vision and passion shall too drive a revolution.
Woz was the critical factor to Apple's early success, and the momentum the Apple ][ bequeathed gave Jobs the significant runway to make real his vision.
And vice versa, being a stellar engineer alone won't necessarily lead you to success...Woz readily admits at he'd still be at HP, making calculators, if it weren't for Jobs (though Woz would be content either way because, well, he's the Woz)
This is the most balanced comment on this thread I've read so far. Woz and Jobs were the Yin and Yang of Apple's success. Comparing the two misses the bigger picture. I don't really get the reason for the argument: I never hear people arguing about Ben and Jerry, Gates and Allen, or Hewlett and Packard. The only reason I can think of is that for some people Jobs has ascended to heaven where he reigns as a god with no equal.
