The Gates and Jobs Interview

Recently at the Wall Street Journal’s “D: All Things Digital Conference,” tech writers Walt Mossberg and Kara Swisher interviewed Microsoft’s Chairman Bill Gates and Apple CEO Steve Jobs. The encounter was both historic and memorable: On stage, the two most well-known figures in the computing industry whose efforts have shaped much of our modern world, looking back on accomplishments and regrets, reflecting on legacies, and injecting the not-unexpected gentle barbs at each other.

One of the best lines of the night: Steve Jobs, commenting on the greatest misunderstanding about their relationship, deadpanned, “We’ve kept our marriage a secret for over a decade.”
