50 patches and 6 months later and the same stuff is still crashing....

From what I heard it happened when he tried to demo the Motorola RAZR on stage for the first time. The reson for that was that Motorola had more to do with the design of the RAZR than Apple. According to reports it didn't work when he demo'd it so he threw it on the stage and kept on going. Generally though, Steve will preview what ever he is going to be demonstrating on stage several times before the actual event so that he knows it will actually "be alright on the night"...unlike Bill Gates.

Other than that I would say Steve would have a much higher success rate of demoing stuff than Bill.
