Steve Jobs/Bill Gates D5 Interview

Great to watch.

Jobs/GatesI know it’s been out for a while, but I’ve finally taken the time to download the 997MB video podcast file for the Steve Jobs/Bill Gates interview at the D5 conference. (It takes time when you only have a 512kbps connection; don’t even try it on dialup.)

It’s a great look at the history of the two companies — Apple and Microsoft — from the viewpoints of the people that built them. The intro, which features early clips of the two men together, is a real treat. It’s hard to remember that both men were so young when they started on their paths.

A while back, I wrote a post about the Bill Gates Daily Show interview. In that interview, Gates came off as a real geek. Not so in this interview. He’s extremely articulate, amusing, and informative.

And, of course, Steve Jobs is Steve Jobs.

I highly recommend this interview if you have any interest in histories of Apple and Microsoft and their relationship.
