Even if you're 'PC' you can't deny the impact Steve Jobs is responsible for in the world of technology.
He brought the Graphical User Interface - a visual, mouse-driven interface - on to the computing scene, something that has stayed with computers decades later.
He revolutionized the way people listen to music with the iPod.
The iPhone bought something hugely new entirely to the smartphone industry.
He showed that technology and minimalist beauty can sit on the same pedestal.
I still prefer Windows over Mac OS myself, but it's impossible to deny the merits that Apple brought to a different side of the computer-buying market.
