Gates and Jobs look into the future of personal computing (2007)

I had no idea they were intertwined so throughly in each others past; I knew they were, but not quite that much.

More interestingly, I enjoy the jokes the make to/about each other. And it's great how (somewhere in the beginning episodes) Steve cut Bill off while he was telling a story and said "Here, just let me tell it," (or something like that). Very old couple like. Very amusing.

I really enjoyed seeing that Gates is still super smart and really enthusiastic about the innovation that’s happening right now. Makes me wish he was still running the show at Microsoft.

Note this has 11 parts and runs more than an hour. It's great though.

Steve Jobs his relationship with Bill Gates: "I think of most things in life as either a Bob Dylan or Beatles song, but there's that one line in that one Beatles Song. You and I have memories that longer than the road that stretches out ahead, and that's clearly true here.

Some advice to startups in video #11 about 1 minute in.

As our focus has shifted to the web in the past decade, I think a lot of us (myself included) have convinced ourselves that the future lies completely inside the web browser.

Hearing Gates address the issue, and combining that with what we're seeing now with mobile and touch-driven computing has really convinced me otherwise.

I see this interview as a call-to-arms from our heroes to gear up for this paradigm shift. They've gotten us this far; and now it's up to us, the developers, to really drive it home.

I enjoyed hearing them talk about tablets, given that was ~3 years before the iPad launch. (I believe most of that conversation occurred in part 5)

The philosophy of Steve Jobs is a healthy one:
