If you’re any sort of nerd - you’re going to love this. This discussion will go down as a milestone in the technology industry as a truly awakening event that really reveals how these two (once young) individuals contributed to our lives and how they brought personal computing to the masses. I believe we’ve hit a milestone as this technology in the hands of the masses is starting to reinvent itself, and empower others to reinvent everything its applied to. With Bill Gates retiring soon - it truly marks an end to an era. From BASIC, to DOS, to Windows, to Office - and exploiting it all on the IBM PC - Bill made his billions, and he’s putting it all towards charitable causes.Both Steve and Bill seemed to really approach this conversation/interview wholeheartedly and at times you can really tell that they honestly care about each other and what they do. Some great insight and some inspirational moments. There were even a few tear jerkers (haha) especially when Steve quoted the Beatles regarding his friendship with Bill, “You and I have memories longer than the road that stretches out ahead.”Check out all these clips down below - I decided to link them from Brightcove as theyhave a higher resoultion in comparison to YouTube. Trust me it’s worth the opening ad in order to really hear and see what’s going on in this interview…
