All I have to go on is a handful of interviews, but I've never seen Steve Jobs act like anything other than a condescending douche bag towards Bill Gates and Microsoft.

Anyone know if there's any public evidence that they shared a mutual respect? If there is, I'd like to read / watch it.



Well, Walt Mossberg interviewed both Steve Jobs and Bill Gates at D5 in 2007. The gents seemed to have fun, and they complimented each other plenty.

Thanks. I'm not surprised that it exists, I just think the media likes showing the clips where Steve is busting Bill's balls over Windows supposed inferiority.

I'm going go finish the video now. I appreciate it.
