The Pirates of Silicon Valley Movie Review 1999

Fact-based docudrama covering the early days of Apple and Microsoft. The partners in both companies tend to get the short end of the story as the telepic focuses on charismatic manipulator Steve Jobs (Wyle) and shrewd geek kingpin Bill Gates (Hall), who not only kept an eye on each other but outmanuevered industry giants such as IBM and Xerox to virtually begin the personal computer market.
