I liked the film and hope to see Ashton's version. I hated the way he treated his wife and especially his daughter. What an S.O.B. he was if the film is fairly accurate.
When you see "Jobs," be ready to freak at how much Ashton Kutcher looks like a young Steve Jobs. It is crazy. Otherwise, the movie focuses more on the business side of Apple rather than "Jobs" focusing on the family side. That being said, the other film does touch on family sometimes. I think you'll enjoy it.
Anyhoo, Steve Jobs was clearly a brilliant man when it came to marketing. He had the drive, the vision, the desire, to see human progress through the development of more accessible technology. I just wish he could have been a better human being in the process.
Regarding my opinion on Apple vs. Whomever, I am a Windows power user. I've used Microsoft Windows in one form or another since 2.0, on every kind of machine. I've also used Apple computers. There is a clear and marked difference between the two, but when it comes down to it, both do what their users want them to do. The competition back and forth could be friendly, but when it's vicious and vitriolic, it just makes people look petty and immature, as if purchasing a computer really decides what kind of person you are.
Just use what you like.
P.S. - I still think Pirates of Silicon Valley is the better film. ;)

I have programmed Visual Studio for about 20 years, now learning Swift on the Mac, and own the IPhone and an IPad.
They are sorta kinda different, but basically the computers are about the same if you are talking PC vs. Mac. They both stole from Xerox, and of course Microsoft stole from everyone.
Windows has kicked the Mac's butt from the beginning, always has and always will. That is because of Microsoft Office. That was/is Microsoft's IPhone.
The Mac is only useful for me to program Swift on. It is a great machine, but without iOS programming on it, I'd stay with Windows very easily. Nothing beats Visual Studio for programming and, again, Office is the kicker.
I know it will take a long, long time but I think Apple is in trouble without Jobs. I don't totally subscribe to him as this super genius, but man, what a dud IPhone 7 and Apple Watch is. I think Google might be the future, as much as I loathe them.

Oh, definitely, Apple is going to go downhill. They can only milk the iPhone for so long before they have to come up with something else spectacular, and without Steve, I don't think they can do it. I still believe Apple owes most of its popularity to Steve. He was a cult figure, and without his ideas and charisma, Apple's going to start making Microsoft look hip and innovative by comparison.
