I love the Apple commercials showing the two guys representing the Mac and PC divide. Yet, the ultimate icons of Mac and Windows are, of course, Apple’s Steve Jobs and Microsoft’s Bill Gates.
Recently, at the D Conference, they shared the same stage (after almost two decades) and reminisced about the PC’s formative years, the early challenges of both of their companies, and their vision for the future of computing. Their interaction was surprisingly congenial, with Steve aptly delivering the one-liners and funny retorts. Bill was his usual techie self although he got a good one in with a “Steve is so known for his restraint” comment. Go watch it.
