Steve Jobs und Bill Gates treffen sich nach über 20 Jahren mal wieder auf einer Bühne wieder – bei der D5. Hier ein kurzes Video mit den Highlights und dem Transkript der ganzen Diskussion. Die abschließende Frage von Mitmoderatorin Kara zeigt richtig schön, wo der Unterschied zwischen PCs und Apple-Rechnern liegt: PCs sind für den Kopf, Macs fürs Herz.

„Kara: What’s the greatest misunderstanding in your relationship?

Steve: We’ve kept our marriage secret for over a decade now. [Rimshot! Laughter and applause.]

Kara: Canada. That trip to Canada. [Audience still roaring. More laughter and applause]

Bill: It’s been fun to work together. I actually kind of miss some of the people who aren’t around anymore. You know, people come and go in this industry. It’s nice when somebody sticks around and they have some context of all the things that have worked and not worked. The industry gets all crazy about some new thing, you know, like, there’s always this paradigm of the company that’s successful is going to go away and stuff like that. It’s nice to have people seeing the waves and waves of that and yet, when it counted, to take the risk to bring in something new.

Steve: You know, when Bill and I first met each other and worked together in the early days, generally, we were both the youngest guys in the room, right? Individually or together. I’m about six months older than he is, but roughly the same age. And now when we’re working at our respective companies, I don’t know about you, but I’m the oldest guy in the room most of the time. And that’s why I love being here. ”¦ And, you know, I think of most things in life as either a Bob Dylan or a Beatles song, but there’s that one line in that one Beatles song, “you and I have memories longer than the road that stretches out ahead.” And that’s clearly true here.“
