• Factual errors: Mike Markkula's name is misspelled (Markula) in the closing credits.

• Factual errors: When Bill Gates and Paul Allen are working out of the motel they are staying at in Albuquerque, there is a sign in the window that reads "Microsoft". At that time (1975), Microsoft was spelled as "Micro-Soft".
  
  

• Anachronisms: In an early scene, where Woz and Jobs were chatting about the future (in someone's bedroom or dorm room), there is a movie poster of Star Trek. The Enterprise on that poster is from the Star Trek movie franchise which started in 1979 and not the Enterprise from the original TV shows. The year of this particular scene in the movie would be before an Apple was first built and sold. Certainly well before 1979.
  
  
• Continuity: In the Har Krishna dance scene, Jobs is wearing a flower lei in the closeups but not the long shots.

• Factual errors: Japan did not manufacture or use Microsoft-run computers when Windows was introduced, China manufactured the computers. Jobs states that his people came back from Japan with computers with the first copies of Windows.
