1. In general describe the main events that occured in the movie. You may divide them into two //separate// timelines, ones for Apple the other one for Microsoft

Well, in the time when Bill Gates and Steve Jobs were beginning to be interested in computers, was when bill gates was at harvard university. Both Jobs and Gates dropped out of university to focus on computers, but at this time computers were not personal as we know them now, they didnt even had a screen or a mouse as we know them now a days.

first of all, Bill gates created the operating system called DOS, but apple created the first personal computer based on a computer on that time called Altair, but at this time nobody was interested in personal computers because nobody ever saw each person of the world having their own computer. Apple creators worked in their garage so you can imagine how computers were not a very lucrative bussines, this is because they were only used at this time by the government, or militaries to solve equations or save important information. Before owning apple, steve jobs along with steve wozniak worked with objects like the blue box that manipulated the telephone lines. So apple's computer had a mini screen and they went to a exposition and became famous for their computers, bill gates at this time was working in altair computers and his DOS programme, which was selled to IBM but manipilated by Bill, they had no success yet.
