Bill Gates- who founded one of the world's most valuable company, Microsoft, and Steve Jobs- one who created one of the world's most valuable brands, Apple, have been noted as two individuals who are an institution in themselves when it comes to technology. But what does the software giant's boss think of Jobs is intriguing.
Business Insider quotes an explanation made by Gates about the difference between him and Jobs. Gates considered Jobs as one with a design mind-set, while he had a coder's mind, focusing more on the architectural built.
The perfect definition has been quoted from a new book on Jobs called, "Becoming Steve Jobs", which is co-authored by Brent Schlender and Rick Tetzeli.
"He had an expectation of superlative things in his own work and in the products they would create. Steve had a design mind-set. When I get to a hotel room, I don't go, 'Oh, if I had designed this car I would have done this and this.' People like Jony Ive and Steve Jobs are always looking at stuff that way. You know, I look at code and say, 'Okay, this is architected well,' but it's just a different way of understanding the world. His most natural, innate sense was a world-class instinct about whether this or that object met certain standards. He had extremely high standards of what was shit, and what was not shit."
Jobs was 56 when he passed away on October 5, 2011 in Palo Alto, California. He suffered from a rare form of pancreatic cancer.

Gates says that Jobs had a design mind-set, while he possessed a coder's mind, looking at the architectural built.
