Presentation Zen has done a comparison of Steve Jobs and Bill Gates doing presentations. With a special focus on Bill Gates’ last presentation about Windows Live.

The fact that his only interesting competitor is one of this planet’s best speakers and has some of the best slides out there as well makes the comparison simply hilarious.

- Bullet points, I can’t stand them
Finally. Now I know why Microsoft PowerPoint is such an insanely crappy product.
Steve the genius. Bill the nerd.

I loved the shadow of Mr. Gates!
The shadow is cool. I actually did not see it when I found the pictures. It was commented over at Presentation Zen as well. I have replaced the photo of Mr. Gates with a non modified picture because the story is actually not about making fun of Bill Gates, it is about doing presentations…
For the people wondering, I have kept the picture with the shadow here.
[...] I have been doing a lot of presentations lately. So, inspired by the classic Steve Jobs and Bill Gates comparison, and after reading these comments over at Presentation Zen: If someone emailed you both presentations, you’d probably be more likely to make out Bill Gates’ message. How would you scape from bullet points and charts if you are presenting a technical subject? [...]
