Bill gates and Steve Jobs present
I read a fascinating piece on presentation Zen comparing the presentation techniques of Gates and Jobs.
Although Bill gets a bit of a bashing in the article, it is not really comparing apples with apples (so to speak). Steve's presentation does look streets ahead of Bill's but it is always easier to make "Big picture" presentations more interesting. Having said that, Bill does need to hire a decent graphic designer. Perhaps it is all about relevance to the audience being addressed? Whatever the excuse, there is no need to use clip art!
