D5: Gates and Jobs – Together again, naturally

Posted By Lid On June 3, 2007 @ 3:21 pm In Uncategorized | No Comments

There are very few people who could have pulled off the greatest rendezvous in the history of technology, so huge hat tip to Walt Mossberg [1], Kara Swisher [2], and D: All Things Digital [3].

For the first time in more than 20 years, Microsoft [4] Chairman Bill Gates [5], and Apple [6] CEO Steve Jobs [7] sat down for a public chat at D5 [8] – the fifth session of All Things D.

The last time the two pioneers of technology were interviewed together was in 1991 by Fortune’s Brent Schlender [9].  The last time they appeared together on a stage was when Jobs interviewed Gates on the Macintosh Dating Game, way back in 1983.  (Included on the prologue video below.)

If you haven’t seen the footage of  history’s great rendezvous [10], it’s time you did.  Allow about an hour 45 to watch from start to end, or read the D5 Gates and Jobs transcript [11].
