This remember me about the Prost and Senna relationship. It is impressive how much we lost when our biggest 'rival' pass away.
When Senna died, Prost stated that "a part of himself had died also", because their careers had been so bound together.[40] Senna had also felt the same when Prost had retired at the end of 1993, when he admitted to a close friend that he had realised how much of his motivation had come from fighting with Prost.
For all the amazing contributions, fierce competition and larger than life personas of both Jobs and Gates, it really takes something like this to remember that when all is said and done, they are both just human beings sharing the same experiences and ups and downs we all do.
Thanks to both of you for all that you've done for people like myself. Even though most of us never knew you personlly, we'll all miss you Steve!
Gates' statement makes me really feel the generational shift in the computer industry. They were the two largest figures of their generation and now...
From the All Things D conference: "There's that one line in that one Beatles song, 'You and I have memories that stretches out longer than the road ahead' and that's clearly true here."
The only time I saw Jobs laugh other than something scripted at WWDC, was when he was talking with Gates (things like "Bill taught the world the important of ctrl, alt and del").

Nice phrase.
This interview is one of my fav. I just marvel at Steve's impeccable clarity of thoughts!
Time to move to emptying bins for a living.
