Bill Gates
is much harder to understand
than Steve Jobs,
says an industry blogster who has analysed their trade show
presentation language.
"Todd Bishop's Microsoft Blog" analysed the text of speeches by
Apple's Steve Jobs and Microsoft's Bill Gates during their
respective Macworld Expo and Consumer Electronics Show appearances
this year.
The idea, said Bishop, was to glean something about their
mindsets and their companies, by looking at word choice and
speaking habits.
The formula used was based on the length of words used, their
frequency, and the number of words in a sentence.
The bottom line was that Gates was harder to understand than
Jobs, although both, unsurprisingly, had a tendency to overdo the
amount of "Windows" and
"
iPhones" in their speech.
