Quite a bit of bit of "Pirates of Silicon Valley" is fabricated. At least I now know you are Mac Fanboy though. The personalities may be right for most of the people involved with the exception of Jobs.

First all modern OS's stole from Xerox including Apple, MS, IBM, and so forth.  Secondly the majority of Macs I have run have actually been slower when running similiar programs on similiarly specced machines.

I do use both Macs and Windows though and there are htings I really like about Macs but hey if you want to waste your money on a 999 Mac notebook go rigth ahead.

 

It is certainly not a documentary. If I recall, jobs (or some apple rep) called it "mean spirited", woz said basically the events depicted in the movie happened and that the portrayal of personalities was accurate.

Anyways, it's a worthy watch.

edit: ah, the Xerox incident is one of the events depicted in the movie.

The Xerox incident is in there but it was again slightly shifted from what happened. I have worked with and met people from teh original PARC product and while they mostly loathe XEROX for not defending its own IP(Which was consequently tied down because XEROX had a monopoly status at the time) they don't have nice things to say abotu Apple or Windows either.

However many of these same guys have gone on to work for both MS and Apple...You know as not only does time heal wounds people need jobs and hey its these guys speciality.

Xerox Star is the Apple LISA.

 

 

Ah, whatever.
