Gates does have luck, but also business sense. Jobs has creative skills, and is willing to take a financial hit to make good products. Windows is ubiquitous because
because MS has good marketing and a large code base of applications. MacOS
has long been the platform of choice
for creative people. In some cases
not even because their chosen application ran better on a Apple, but purely for ease
of use of the platform.

To answer the question, you need to define brilliance. Is it the ability to make money? Or the ability to create?

Jobs gets my vote, AND my money.
