Comparision Between Mark Zuckerberg and Bill Gates

If you use Microsoft product you should be familiar with Bill Gates big name and if you have Facebook account then maybe you have heard of the founder Mark Zuckerberg.

The net world has constantly relate Facebook’s co-founder Mark Zuckerberg  with Microsoft co-founder and claiming that Zuckerberg will be the next Bill Gates. 

While reading some articles about the history of Facebook, I have noticed the two characters shared many things in common. Here is a list of things which they share:

Both are very proficient software programmer.

Both are billionaires.

Both founded the company at the very young age of 20+.

Both build fortune through the computer world. 
Gates built a new platform (DOS and Windows) 
and Zuckerberg are creating one now.

Both have stolen ideas for software applications or developments from others.

Zuckerberg and Gates are left out from Harvard University.

Zuckerberg and Gates are nerd.

Both are not really handsome.

Zuckerberg and Gates have been facing copyright issues and legal disputes.

The applications or software they built changed the IT world.

They are both identified as jerks in respect to their social life.

Both paid large sums of money to end lawsuits.

These individuals are of the type “love ‘em or hate ‘em”.

The two of them are quite intelligent and finished school with honors.

Both skipped classes at the university to work on their personal projects and later, to catch up with the rest of their classmates, had to do some ‘intensive burst study’ sessions.

Zuckerberg and Gates are famous amongst public opinion for being egoists, ruthless, opportunists, thiefs and devious. Also are suspect of using shrewdly predatory and unethical tactics against their counterparts.

Both get idea and drive by the opposite sex. 
Zuckerberg created the initial Facebook application to get laid with woman. 
Bill delivered himself a MAC application to hook up with a woman and at high school created a program to schedule students in classes, after that he modified the code so that he was placed in classes with mostly female students. Probably there is some true in “everything men do is to hook up woman”. Hahaha!

Both were very lucky at their business. A certain number of circumstances played to their favor.

Both come from upper-middle class families.

Microsoft invested 240 million of dollars on Facebook, 
making Zuckerberg and Gates business partners.

Both of them wrote their first computer programs while attending high school.

The two of them scored an almost perfect score on the SAT.

While it’s still too soon to jump into conclusions that Zuckerberg will match Gates achievement over the next 10 or 20 years. What you think?
