Steve Jobs and Bill Gates: historic discussion live from D 2007 | |
|
||
| Time: 21:23 EST/02:23 GMT | News Source: Engadget | Posted By: Michael Dragone | ||

[NOTE: The interview is over. Follow the link for the transcript.] We kind of never thought we'd see the day where Mac and PC voluntarily shared the stage on neutral ground, but that day is today. Very soon Bill Gates and Steve Jobs -- both pioneering execs that need absolutely no introduction -- will sit up in front of the audience here at D and discuss god knows what. Don't miss this, people, who knows if this will happen again in any of our lifetimes. You'll know when we get started. Who's got odds that they don't walk out and say "Hi, I'm a PC." "Hi, I'm a Mac."? | ||

Engadget's coverage was a dang site better than Gizomodo's. Better, comments, too - more thoughtful, complete and appropriately respectful. I appreciate the observations regarding the abiding regard Bill Gates and Steve Jobs appeared to have communicated toward one another. I do wish each had been pressed more on what they see in terms of the future direction our industry will take and while history is relevant and fascinating, for many of us, we're too old to regard it as history - where many of the early years don't seem like they were that long ago at all.
I most especially appreciated that both men expressed that their goals were never financial, or business related, and that they simply loved what they were doing and building products around what they liked. When these guys retire, they will definitely be missed - though I do think Mr. Gates will one day be remembered and studied from a kinder perspective than Mr. Jobs. It was telling, in that Mr. Jobs seemed to understand that. It's also interesting that Apple and Steve Jobs advocate for a segment of technology users that don't actually need advocacy. One can see, in our industry and how it is segmented, the influence of the personal decisions each of these men has made. Being able to extract these observations from the text generated parallel to the interviews is a reflection of how good Engadget's coverage was, and it reminded me of a time when radio, and similar blow by blow observations were recorded and quickly broadcast - while there was a reporter's perspective, there was also a vicarious element that has been removed from people by 24/7 cable/sat news coverage. In many ways, the format alone, was entertaining enough - as nostalgic as it was immediate. |
