I feel it's a disservice to Steve's legacy to take portions of the book out of context and derive inferences. For example, in this article, I can't understand how any comparisons can be derived between Mark, Larry and Bill Gates. All three of these entrepreneurs came in at a very different time in tech. Their success and [minor] failures if anything were in a large way a function of the then state of technology, competitive landscape and natural evolution of their companies.
