I love this picture because it's a great representation of the dichotomy between the two. Gates, the developer of the enormously business-centric operating system, appears well kept in a button down shirt, slacks and loafers; Jobs on the otherhand is relaxing in an easy-chair with a loose sweater, jeans and no shoes.
Even their posture speaks volumes about their mentality.
Steve Jobs pre-black turtlenecks liked to go barefoot. Even in business meetings. Like a hobbit.
