Yes, it matters.  Having read a (rather neutral, it seems) biography of
Steve Jobs some time ago, I can tell you that his own personality explains
a lot about Apple's products, and a lot about people who use these.
Might have very practical implications.

I have a biography of Bill Gates waiting on my bookshelf to be read :-)
(I buy many books on flea markets, and I'm especially interested in
"computing history" items)

Fabien.
