Just like Jobs. He was the marketing and sales guy. Woz, et al. were the visionaries and engineers cranking out the product.

Jobs had a key difference from Gates - he had taste. He insisted on the injection molded case for the Apple II instead of sheet metal because he wanted it to look like a finished product. He insisted on not having lines dividing the color bands in their logo, which made it more expensive to print (but much nicer to look at).

Jobs would never let something like Windows 1 escape the lab.
