BILL GATES, MICROSOFT CO-FOUNDER AND CHAIRMAN"Steve and I first met nearly 30 years ago, and have been colleagues, competitors and friends over the course of more than half our lives.

For those of us lucky enough to get to work with him, it's been an insanely great honor."

"Steve Jobs was a great friend as well as a trusted advisor. His legacy will extend far beyond the products he created or the businesses he built. It will be the millions of people he inspired, the lives he changed, and the culture he defined. Steve was such an 'original,' with a thoroughly creative, imaginative mind that defined an era. Despite all he accomplished, it feels like he was just getting started."
MITT ROMNEY, REPUBLICAN PRESIDENTIAL HOPEFUL, ON TWITTER
"Steve Jobs is an inspiration to American entrepreneurs. He will be missed."

MICHAEL DELL, CEO OF DELL INC
"Today the world lost a visionary leader, the technology industry lost an iconic legend and I lost a friend and fellow founder. The legacy of Steve Jobs will be remembered for generations to come."

I have nothing but Love for Mr. Jobs and Apple, they have always given me and my films L-O-V-E. Peace and Blessings to his family."
