"I wish [Bill Gates] the best, I really do. I just think he and Microsoft are a bit narrow. He'd be a broader guy if he had dropped acid once or gone off to an ashram when he was younger." (1997) - Quote from Steve Jobs.
Maybe it's just me but I wonder if this little carry over from his education at Reed is the reason Jobs got liver cancer. I know a bit about this stuff. Liver cancer is not good and transplants are usually not effective long term. This is the reason people that need a transplant are usually low on the list of potential recipients.
Not much talk about the fact that Steve Jobs gamed the system to find a state that would allow him to get around these restrictions.
Best of luck to Jobs but I'd bet Gates gets the last laugh (and then some).
