          There was even a movie made about that. It’s kinda bad but entertaining, Tim Robbins as the Gates/Jobs amalgamation is the saving grace, it’s worth watching for his performance alone.

            The movie is called Antitrust if anyone is wondering. It’s a serviceable thriller and Tim Robbins is realy the best thing about it.
